Keep in mind the next time you do a cvsup it will nuke the patch so you will have to reapply it... now if you do this often enough you might want to consider keeping a local cvs repository that way when you update your sources it will not overwrite the patch... see develop(8) for some ideas on how to set this up (even though the source tree layout they suggest is a little weird you just better off doing cvs -d /home/ncvs update in /usr/src) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
