As I read the docs, if you check out with _any_ tag or date, you will get sticky data. nix> sumo-2001-09-29 is), which is probably wrong for dated tags nix> like the sumo tags are. No, it is correct. The point is to allow you to do something like # good enough for me cvs checkout -r sumo-2001-09-29 packages # but I want the flashiest and trashiest JDE cd xemacs-packages/jde; cvs update -A # and the TRAMP package is new and almost certainly broken cd ../tramp; cvs update -A # and Lord knows any change to edict would be an improvement cd ../../mule-packages/edict; cvs update -A Now we pick all of those up with a cvs update from the package source root. What behavior do you want? If you want bleeding edge, use -A. If you want current sumo configuration, I guess Steve should start doing a moving tag "sumo-current" with his sumo releases, as well as the dated ones. We don't have any branches in packages currently (AFAIK), and that's not the right way to manage this anyway. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
