Congrats on the new CVS server...
A question...
What is the preferred way for mere users to get sources
on a regular basis?
I know CVS beats on the server a bit. Is rsync better? cvsup?
What would you guys like to see us, who are not committers or
really developing for nbsd use?
I use cvs for openbsd and netbsd and cvsup for freebsd. The cvs
advantage is that I can update a part of the tree (eg in just
/usr/pkgsrc/mail/) and I can see diffs (less important most of the
time)...
(like perhaps most of the users, I'm in the US)
