The tar_files on both ftp.iastate.edu and sun-lamp are dated May 13.
I would appreciate it if someone could update them, especially since
cgd has told us that it's safe to upgrade with Sunday's sources. :-)

Also, has anyone hacked sup so that it can run without a local source
tree, on a non-NetBSD machine?  My NetBSD box at home has no net
access, but I do have net access from a Sun.  Disk space is at a
premium on the Sun, so I can't keep a copy of the tree there.  What I
would like is a version of sup that can grab all files from the server
modified after a given date and stuff them into a .tar.gz archive.
Also included would be a shell script to delete old files.  Then I
could download and extract the .tar.gz archive, run the update script,
and my tree would be up to date.  Has anyone done anything like that?
