Hey hey folks, excuse me while I slip into newbie mode again for a moment.

I've had a look through documentation and list archives and such and don't
seem to be able to find an answer for these:

 - I've got the pkgsrc sources via 'cvs checkout -P pkgsrc', does the CVS
system automatically know I'm running -current rather than a formal release
and bring down the current sources automatically or is the pkgsrc stuff
independent of what OS version you're running?

 - In a similar vein, now I have the 200407270000 automatic build running on
my machine I want to compile my own kernel (and possibly the whole system).
If I do 'cvs checkout -P src/sys' will this automatically get the source I
need or do I need to specify a date and the fact that it's the current
branch?

 - When I do 'make -j 3' for something in pkgsrc it fails because it's not
correctly serializing the download of the code before it starts to actually
compile. Is there a way I can tell make to only start doing more than one
job on the *actual* compile job rather than all the pre-build stuff?

Many questions, I know, hopefully some answers out there...tia
