To integrate changes, use `cvs -q update -dP'. 2) You make your modifications in the source tree, and sup same. You keep a list of modified files, and a set of programs allow you to hide/unhide them from sup and determine when they need to be ftp'd to freefall to be merged. I don't have the disk space for (1), so I do (2). (I could probably /get/ the disk space, but it's more pain than I want to deal with right now.) (1) is a lot easier, /if/ you have the disk space. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
