I don't quite see the problem. If you use RELENG_4 what did you expect it to do? It's supposed to update your source tree. If you use RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE when you've already got 4.2-R sources it obviously won't do much since there aren't many differences between 4.2-RELEASE and 4-2.RELEASE. > on the side note, i've been checking the docs and there's no equivalent of > the ports' refuse file for /usr/src. would be great to have one. The refuse file is a cvsup thing, there's no reason you can't use one for /usr/src. RTFM cvsup(1), there's a very good section in there about refuse files. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
