We don't CVS. Our policy regarding all FreeBSD systems is that each system will NOT be upgraded for any reason. However, should security or kernel panics issues arise, then those patches where approiate will be applied. No other changes are made; especially to systems in the field. Our company has resisted taking any stance stronger than what I've stated (i.e. we don't fire people for examining/using CVS). As such, there is no mechanism by which we can apply patches (other than security or kernel panic). Not having a mechanism for apply patches means there is also no means, nor is one encourage, to make changes. That being said we have no means by which to identify changes should the be need (except, again, security and panics). Lastly, give the situation it is beyond the charter to develop methods to encourage any behavior that would suggest using CVS. I hope I've been clear. :-) best regards, Jessem.
