If you're tracking current, then you're supposed to also monitor the FreeBSD-committers list (it says this in the Handbook, and it's a real requirement). All the things taken out were detailed in that list. Attic (with the capital A) is the directory created by cvs to store stuff that's been deleted. cvs itself never forgets anything, it just no longer retrieves that, when you check out a copy of current from your archive. cvs will happily give out the older stuff, if you use the right date or release code. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
