I'd also like to relate a newbie's tale. I read the instructions,
then ignored them. I looked at /etc/make.conf, where I found stuff
having to do with CVSup. This was a pointer to
/usr/share/examples/cvsup, so I went there and had a look. The
`CHANGE_THIS' in a few files was clear enough, so:
perl -pi~ -e s/CHANGE_THIS/cvsup3.de/ *
(I did this by hand first, now that's what I'm doing.)
Then: cd /usr/src; make update.
While it is useful to have all this information in the handook, the
above process is so easy that I humbly suggest that some mention of it
be included in the handbook.
PS: I'm not sure whether changing the CVSup config files after every
`make update' (or is it `make world'?) is the Right Thing to do,
but it does offer the advantage that I can take advantage of all
the advancements in the config files. (No, I don't like puns :-)
OTOH, when they ever change this `CHANGE_THIS' stuff, I'll be
bitten...
