-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 I have a standing checkout script called checkout-date which I have permenantly modified to include the date parm on the cvs command line and a variable declaration at the top of the script for ease of use. Near the top, I have DATE=2006-01-01 Then down at the cvs command line, mine was changed to look like this. cvs co -D $DATE -P speakup || exit This works every time for me. While I was trying to use old kernels recently, I would look to see when the kernel was produced at ftp.kernel.org and then set the date in the checkout script to be a week or so later than that and hope I would get good patches. I was quite successful doing that.
