I believe RELENG_5_2 has been discontinued, and replaced by RELENG_5_2_1 (if I'm wrong, someone correct me, please). Anyways, try cvsupping using either one, as at least one of them is bound to work. If this sounds cryptic to you, read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html If you are looking for -CURRENT, the tag to use is . (yes, a period). -Henrik W Lund
