Well I see I am not being careful about what questions I ask, again. The broken pipe is something I am now familiar with, having asked about it before. What I would like to know about is away to tell how far the update got without having to watch the screen for thirty, forty minutes or more. I wasn't remembering tee yesterday, and even tee wouldn't have helped in the case of zero change between updates. If I hadn't been having network problems, I probably wouldn't have thought about it, no news being (usually) good news with cvs update. > checking the cvs archives (https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&r=1&w=2) shows > the last commit to xerocara was on July 30. This would have been helpful yesterday, although it looks like I still (maybe?) end up looking at cvsweb to be sure a particular update is against the -stable label. At least I couldn't see a tag or label spec on the several I looked at going backwards from July 30 just now. (Sometimes I don't see what is right in front of me, though, so I'll check again later.) As it turned out, my connection cleared up a little after eleven last night, and I was able to see it pick up the few updates in xenocara. (And now I have another little riddle I haven't seen before.) Thanks for pointing out the commit list. It's definitely a resource I've been ignoring. -- Joel Rees Computer memory is just fancy paper, CPUs are just fancy pens. All is a stream of text flowing from the past into the future.
