CVS was designed to be a simple way to retrieve and update your sources.

<a href="http://man.openbsd.org/cvs">cvs(1)</a> was designed to be a simple way

to retrieve and update your sources.

You must first decide whether you want to track <i>-current</i> or a

<a href="stable.html">patch branch</a>.

The current tree has all of the up to the minute changes,

If you begin with <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> and <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> as mentioned

above, you can skip the initial <tt>get</tt> and proceed to updating.

<li>First, start out by getting an initial tree (the following commands assume

that your user is member of the <tt>wsrc</tt> group):

<b>Warning:</b>

When using cvs, you should take care that your current directory is either the

root of the tree you are referencing or in a separate place such as

<tt>/tmp</tt>.

Some commands, such as <tt>cvs get</tt>, can create an arbitrary sub-tree in the

current directory, and a subsequent update will recursively flesh out this

sub-tree.

<h4>Changing the server</h4>

<li> NOTE:

If you are updating a source tree that you initially fetched

from a different server, or from a tar file, you <b>must</b>

add the <em>-d [cvsroot]</em> option to cvs.

The <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/cvs">cvs(1)</a> man page

(included with the CVS sources) has much more

information about how CVS can be used.

<b>Warning:</b>

When using cvs, you should take care that your current directory is either

the root of the tree you are referencing or in a separate place such as

<tt>/tmp</tt>.

Some commands such as "get" can create an arbitrary sub-tree in the current

directory, and a subsequent update will recursively flesh out this sub-tree.
