CVSup was originally developed as a tool for mirroring repositories. It doesn't sound like you need a repository. It sounds like you just need checked out source, provided that the tool you use to update that checked out source doesn't blow away your local modifications. You could use anoncvs to check out and then maintain a source tree. Local modifications to the tree will be left intact. Every now and then, a FreeBSD committer may make a change in an area that you have already changed. In this case, you'll get a CVS conflict, the conflict will be clearly marked inside the file and you will need to edit the file and fix the conflict. Fixing conflicts is often trivial. For information on anoncvs, see this web page: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/anoncvs.html Ciao, Sheldon.
