The Design and Implementation of laffer1

I've previously created a wiki document about the process to build a MidnightBSD release, but I haven't talked much about what goes on in version control.  

MidnightBSD uses CVS for our source repository.  Today, I created a new tag RELENG_0_3_BP.  This is the branch point, or start of the 0.3 branch that will become 0.3-RELEASE.  

One creates a tag like this:

/usr/src
# 
cvs update -P -d

The next step is to create a branch point  tag , so that diffs against the start of the branch are easier with CVS:

/usr/src
# 
cvs rtag RELENG_0_3_BP src

And then a new branch tag is created with:

/usr/src
# 
cvs rtag -b -rRELENG_0_3_BP RELENG_0_3 src
