This directory contains virgin copies of the original distribution files on a "vendor" branch. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to upgrade the files in this directory via patches and a cvs commit. To upgrade to a newer version of tcpdump, when it is available: 1. Unpack the new version into an empty directory. [Do not make ANY changes to the files.] 2. Use the command: cvs import -m 'Virgin import of LBL tcpdump v' \ src/contrib/tcpdump LBL v For example, to do the import of version 3.2.1, I typed: cvs import -m 'Virgin import of LBL tcpdump v3.2.1' \ src/contrib/tcpdump LBL v3_2_1 3. Follow the instructions printed out in step 2 to resolve any conflicts between local FreeBSD changes and the newer version. Do not, under any circumstances, deviate from this procedure. To make local changes to tcpdump, simply patch and commit to the main branch (aka HEAD). Never make local changes on the LBL branch. All local changes should be submitted to "tcpdump@ee.lbl.gov" for inclusion in the next vendor release. pst@freebsd.org - 19 Aug 1996
