Most developers use CVSup to download the repo. I use the following supfile: *default host=cvsup10.freebsd.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/work/repo *default release=cvs *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress doc-all ports-all src-all www Then setup an alias for local operations: alias lcvs cvs -d/work/repo -R Then: lcvs checkout src cd src [make changes to files] lcvs diff >~/my.diff Best regards, Mike Barcroft To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
