Hello,
1. cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos -z 6 co -P ecos
2. cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/ecos -z 6 co -r last-rhepl -P ecos
what is the difference between these two?
If I update the code using first item, am I use ecos2.0 now?
It really confuse me. thanks a lot for your help.
Peter

No problem, it's just old documentation. With the v2.0(alpha), we've
merged in the "net" and "snmp" packages with the mainline sources.
You're probably set to go.
