Yes, but now we have three different ways to update:
1. make update - I learned about this just very recently, 'cause I've
been using ...
2. call cvsup from /usr/local/etc/periodic with supfiles for whatever you
need - this is what I implemented quite a while ago when I started
to track -STABLE (after reading the webpages about -STABLE and -CURRENT,
which explain it this way and _don't_ mention "make update")
3. install cvsupit.tgz which creates a new cvsupfile from scratch containing
all you want in one file (this is what I use now)
IMHO this ought to be cleaned up a bit. At least documentation-wise
But maybe other people like it the Perl way ;-)
