And it even comes with a GUI if you prefer. :) Sup was simply wasting too many resources, network-wise and in particular on the server side. If you don't need CVSup's up-to-the-minute feature, you might get away with CTM. It costs even less (network time, and workload [in particular diskload] on your machine). You can get the updates by FTP or by mail. I'm using the latter, and that's the way how i keep my CVS tree updated for two years now. I temporarily switched to CVSup for the 2.2 release engineering work, but am now back to CTM since it's more convenient for me to get the updates by mail. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
