Yes, but that's not quite the whole story. It is done at directory level, not module level. ie: if you have a checked out copy of libc and you want to commit something in the gen subdir onto 2.1, you can: cd libc/gen cvs update -r RELENG_2_1_0 # get dir onto 2.1 branch cvs commit getpwent.c cvs update -A # release sticky tag And, of course, the obligatory reminder that RELENG_2_1_0 is *not* a free-for-all like -current is. >-- >Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com >Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD Cheers, -Peter
