Updating the entire /usr/src tree over CVS and the network can be *VERY*
slow. If you don't mind the extra disk space, I'd suggest the following:
- Use CVSup to mirror the entire src repository to /home/ncvs.
- Check out from /home/ncvs a working copy in /usr/src.
The entire CVS repository, mirrored locally here, takes about 2.6 GB of
disk space:
# du -sk /home/ncvs
2671488 /home/ncvs
This is, in my opinion, a small price to pay for being able to update
back and forth, from one version to any other. But YMMV.
