First I appreciate your response(s). Actually I am not sure it is a bug - just that cvsup does not work as I had thought. It would seems to me that the CVS tag lines (correct term??) in the source were not updated. I just thought I would pursue this issue because I was depending on something that did not work as I had thought. I.e. that the date tag worked on a timestamp (and I guess that all mirrors used ntpd ;) On Wed, 28 Nov 2001, Giorgos Keramidas wrote: > > There should be no timing issue.

Especially the deltas from 99.08.28.*. I assumed this to be human error - I was just surprised they made it in my update. I probably would not have noticed except they were the ONLY changes. Given the number of people, the change rate, and the complexity, I think it all works pretty well. Note none of this caused a problem - just was strange and I was depending on the date tag to do something it (obviously) does not do. > I hope this is not a bug in CVSup that bites you.
