No, running cvsup with that cvsupfile will update all of your local sources= =2E=20 You might want to delete /home/ncvs as that is taking up a lot of disc spac= e=20 and you don't need it unless you're planning to run your own cvs mirror, or= =20 you're planning on tracking multiple branches. Just stick with cvsup, it's= =20 much easier to use than CVS. Take a look at the handbook. It has a lot of=20 info pertaining to what your doing. You might want to be tracking RELENG_5 as your default tag. That's the 5-stable branch which will contain bug fixe= s=20 etc that are not in the release. RELENG_5_4_0 is just a snapshot of that=20 release with only security updates. Always read /usr/src/UPDATING before=20 building / installing it will save you from potential gotyas.
