I didn't tell anything about upgrading -- only about installing a
cvsupd. Both are two very different pairs of shoes. cvsupd is
available as a statically-linked binary, even the {Net,Open}BSD folks
reported that they can run the CVSup binaries (although the clients in
this case).

Huh? Since CVSup touches the files to the correct timestamp, how can
the CVSup servers differ? (If the timestamps don't match, it falls
back to compare the files.)
Of course, i only talk about CVS files here. I have no idea for the
checked out trees.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
