Hi Amit, I regret that I am not an expert in CVSup and suggest/urge you consider communicating your problems to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. Your question is off-topic on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
I will note that my own site uses a newer version of cvsup than you: % cvsup -v CVSup client, non-GUI version Copyright 1996-2001 John D. Polstra Software version: SNAP_16_1e Protocol version: 17.0 Operating system: FreeBSD4 http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/ Report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED] % And even that version is not the latest as I know that I have seen SNAP_16_1f but just not bothered to upgrade to it. Note: I have found the need to use the '*default preserve' directive. For example, I use something like the following: % cat cvs-supfile *default prefix=/cvs/mirror *default host=10.1.20.36 *default base=/var *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix world-all % To mirror the sources from the 10.1.20.36 host. This is good enough for our site.
