Slightly confused about -current.

Good Day;

I am presently trying to build KDE4 from pkgsrc and have experienced a 
few problems.  I know that due to the dynamic nature of the source code 
in -current, a successful build is likely but not certain.
I was using pkgsrc.tar.bz2 dated Feb 26 and have now downloaded 
pkgsrc-tar-bz2 dated Mar 4.  I was having problems with KDEBASE4 with an 
error when building /usr/pksrc/multimedia/xine-lib (missing shm.h?).  
With the current source the build appears to have moved past that point 
and is continuing.  I used make in /usr/pkgsrc/KDELIBS4 and it has not 
stopped yet.
What is the appropriate way to let the developers know I experienced a 
build failure and how I resolved it.  Or, do I save bandwidth and just 
push on through?  I have not read all of the html docs in the new 
pksrc-readmes.tar.bz2 but, I'm working on it.
Also, how often does one get the present (current) src and pkgsrc tarballs?
Is it more efficient to CVS it all?

Thank You,
Michael
