System: NetBSD zembla.Princeton.EDU 1.5.3_ALPHA NetBSD 1.5.3_ALPHA (ZEMBLA) #11: Sat Mar 2 23:34:00 EST 2002 richards@zembla.Princeton.EDU:/usr/home/richards/kern i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
	CVSup, by default, does not expand the $NetBSD$ keyword.  Hence
	files tracked by CVSup have off-by-one revisions in $NetBSD$.

	(I know that NetBSD is reluctant to imply that CVSup is supported,
	but this is a small, quick fix that benefits many people.)
>How-To-Repeat:
	Grab NetBSD source files from any of the CVSup mirrors listed on
	the mirrors page (except the one in Norway, which has fixed this
	problem locally).
>Fix:
	In the CVSROOT directory (i.e. the CVSROOT directory that is
	propagated to mirror sites), add a file named "options" with the
	following contents:

	tag=NetBSD=Id

	Henceforth CVSup mirrors will expand the $NetBSD$ keyword properly.
	CVSup clients may have to re-checkout their sources to see the
	corrected keyword.
