Hi,

I am just cleaning my mailbox and I found this mail.

I remember that there used to be problems with sup, esp. those mentioned
above. What do people think about a switch to CVSup? I must admit that
I am personally not running CVSup, but I haven't seen any complies from
the FreeBSD people and this mail was sent more than a month ago.

Just transfering ideas ...
