I would say -r r21-2-b1 is probably OK; that's just another name for a node on the 21.1 tree where 21.2 (which was released as 21.4) branched off. First try -r r21-2-35, the last beta release before Martin's patch mentioned above; it's about midway in time, anyway. Note that tag nomenclature changed at r21-2-b4, which is aliased to r21-2-4. Tags before that were of the form r21-2-b##, tags after that of the form r21-2-##. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
