Joel, what the hell are you doing? Answering your own email and quoting your own words. For what purpose? Somebody told you that what you have is OUT OF SYNC, and gave you some clear instructions to fix this?
What are you doing? Continue with the old out of sync bulshit trying and hope you will fix it? Did you get it, the source is out of sync. I never used cvs and own compile, but i got this very clear: IT WILL NOT WORK if it is OUT OF SYNC.
