Usually it works like this, only slightly adapted for libarchive. We
(mostly christos) do similar stuff in src all the time, if you don't
know how to do this, there should be quite a number of people who know
how to do it.

Import:

alias nbcvs='cvs -d cvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot'
tar -xzf libarchive-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
cd libarchive-X-Y-Z
nbcvs import pkgsrc/archivers/libarchive/files KIENTZLE libarchive-X-Y-Z

Merge:

cd /tmp
nbcvs co -jlibarchive-PREVIOUS-TAG -jlibarchive-X-Y-Z pkgsrc/archivers/libarchive
(check and fix any merge problems)
cvs commit
