Subject:   Updating RELENG_4_3
Message-ID:  <3B62A31F.7EF92100@freeloader.freeserve.co.uk>

cd /usr/src;make update (CVS) pulls down RELENG_4 not RELENG_4_3.
There should at least be a warning in UPDATING. Shouldn't
this be a variable in make.conf?

<thinks out loud>
Hmm. The -r would mean BRANCH would have to be a numeric or 
symbolic tag. What if you could do:
CVSUPDATEFLAGS=	-D "yesterday"
That would fix updating during a commit. Or maybe not. Must find
a cvs wizard and ask them if the commit time stamps are atomic.

While I'm on the subject, different output for uname -a would
be _really_ useful (4.3-SECURITY?). How else can you tell you
have RELENG_4_3?

Cheers
