From where should we be getting it? (My guess would be "nearest ftp-mirror" ?) Is/are the gui-versions of cvsup "supersets" of the non-gui versions? (i.e. will the gui-version(s) all work in non-gui (-g) mode?) I'm finding 3 (updated for s1g) versions now, 2 at jdp's site & 1 in releng4 & the ftp mirrors. The version of cvsup on the 4.4 CD appears out of date. JDP's site has non-gui & gui versions, the gui-version being bigger, of course. But the various package-archive sites have a version that's bigger still. All these packages have the same name (cvsup-16.1e.tgz). I've only seen "heads-up" announcements on -announce & I think -stable, but nothing in, for example, -stable documentation. And there appear to have been some recent updates to cvsup (more recent than those on jdp's site, for example). (?) How appropriate would this information be for errata and/or release notes?
