Since cvsup can take a revision of a file from a given time, why not use the time that the cvsup was started, this way it will ignore anything that was modified while cvsup was running, and the mirror can say, all the files are from xx.yy.zz point in time. And then have xntpd or somesuch running, so that all the cvsup mirrors have the same idea of when xx.yy.zz was.. - alex I thought felt your touch In my car, on my clutch But I guess it's just someone who felt a lot like I remember you. - Translator To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
