As a newcomer to cvsup when reading the cvsup pages I did not see any recomendations for good practice for management or use of the files once they have been downloaded. I am pretty familar with downloading tar files and the processes of extracting and compiling. With so many packages/ports coming at the same time (I am half way through my first cvsup right now) I am wondering what I need to do when the downloads are complete!
