Oh, question about that tho.. How do I specify what release I want?  As I'm
using 3.2-STABLE.  I assume since I'm downloading everything, that both
2.2.8, 3.2, and 4.x are all in there somewhere.

or am I wrong?

-Chris

In article <000201beba6b$258e43a0$0200000a@shithead.weeble.dyndns.org> you
write:

Not directly. It's a repository after all, lots of funky ",v" files.

That's certainly a possibility. Or you simply use cvs(1) to check out a
working copy.

- cd /usr
- Remove src
- Check out initial working copy:
  cvs -R -q -d /path/to/repository get src
- Later, to update the source tree:
  cvs -R -q -d /path/to/repository up -PAd src

You can put the /path/to/repository in the CVSROOT environment variable
to save typing.
