Hi Dru, While reading your newest article I noticed you used this in your supfile: *default tag=RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE If you use this tag on a 5.2.1 REL machine you won't update anything on the system. 'RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE' is used when you want to cvsup to that RELEASE from, say, 5.1 or 5.0. I think you wanted to use this tag to track security updates: *default tag=RELENG_5_2 The Handbook explains these and other tags. 5_2 applies to 5.2.1 REL as well as 5.2 REL, incidentally.

  Hai there bsd guru's out there,
  
  I think i have a problem with cvsup.
  I use the tag
  
  
  *default host=cvsup1.FreeBSD.org
  *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
  *default prefix=/usr
  *default tag=RELENG_4_1_RELEASE
  *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
  src-all
  
  to update the 4.10 release, but when i run the cvsup it delete's all my src's.
  
  When i try to use this tag RELENG_4_10_RELEASE
  
  i have the same problem.
  
  Please help me.
