The important thing is to let CVS update the whole tree, which is significant - some 6000 files!. > 2. After all update finished (ecos, net , snmp), how do I know which version I use currently?

Version "numbers" are a bit confusing here. eCos was designed to have stabilized "releases" in which the "current" directories were renamed to indicate the version. In this way, a single source tree could contain multiple versions of eCos. However, at this time, the only version available is the most current (hence the name) from CVS. You can get version and history information for any file in the repository using CVS commands. Just try this on a file: % cvs log -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://sources.redhat.com/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-discuss
