It depends what you want to build. There are some parts you can build on
their own and not have to worry too much about dependencies. But it
depends on what has changed since your last cvsup. If you want to update to
the most recent snapshot of stable, you really should use cvsup to do
so. Check the handbook for instructions on it as well as how to use cvsup
and what needs to be done in order to track STABLE. Its a fairly easy
process, but you must deal with the few caveats. Particularly the things in
/etc that you must either manually merge, or use merge master.
