I discovered that my CVS tree was corrupt after trying the following: cd /jaz cvs co -r RELENG_2_2 src # -r implies -P The checkout failed and later that night my cvsup cron job failed with the error "Possible reference of NIL". So I rm -rf /jaz/cvs; cvsup'ed the tree again; rm -rf /jaz/src; checked out 2.2 release; built a new kernel and things look fine now for testing 2.2. /jaz/src was current. Which brings me to a question, should I have done a cvs release src? The man pages say that doing a checkout-only is ok, but seems to recommend doing a release beforehand. What do most people do in practice, especially with something as large as the entire FreeBSD src tree? Regards, Mike Hancock
