371.0. "bco -u -r$LATEST" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Fri Oct 08 1993 17:37

I just created a sandbox backed by agosminor.bl6, and then
did a 'mklinks -dironly usr/ccs/bin/ld'.

I then went into that directory, and then typed:

% bco -u -r$LATEST Makefile

I expected that this would give me the latest Makefile in
the submit pool rather than the one in the backing tree.
Instead, I got a Makefile that is *neither* the one in
the backing tree, *nor* the submit tree.

How come?

This is how I know:

The first several lines from the Makefile the 'bco' gave me:

% more Makefile
#
# @DEC_COPYRIGHT@
#
#
# HISTORY
# $Log: Makefile,v $
# Revision 4.2.5.6  1993/01/12  10:10:56  Jin_Chen
#       Removed ILINKS

# Revision 4.2.5.5  92/12/28  10:47:51  Mike_Rickabaugh
#       Changed PAGESIZE to SEGMENTPAGESIZE to avoid conflict in rt_limits.h.
#       [92/12/21  14:32:09  Mike_Rickabaugh]



From the agosminor.bl6 backing tree:

% more link/Makefile
#
# @DEC_COPYRIGHT@

# $Log: Makefile,v $
# Revision 4.2.12.4  1993/06/03  16:26:47  Brett_Sampson

#       [1993/04/12  19:58:50  Randy_Lowell]


From the submit tree (the one I wanted):

% more Makefile
#
# @DEC_COPYRIGHT@
#
#
# HISTORY
# $Log: Makefile,v $
# Revision 4.2.12.5  1993/09/30  13:54:42  Jim_McHale

#        be able to use the system ld not an under the table ld.
#       [1993/09/30  13:51:41  Jim_McHale]


And in case it matters:

See what that get you.
