Re: some cvs use question

c> 1.

c> (co = commit?)

co = checkout. yes, get is the same as co. from the cvs(1) man page:

       checkout [options] modules...
              [...]
              Synonyms: co, get

c> 2.

well, that command won't work, the -rOPENBSD_3_2 needs to be after the "co." That said OPENBSD_3_2 is not the same as the CD (or OPENBSD_3_2_BASE) plus patches, OPENBSD_3_2 is the stable branch and not everything that goes into that branch becomes a patch.

c> 3.
c> cvs checkout -P -rOPENBSD_3_2 src = cvs up -rOPENBSD_3_2 src -Pd ?
c> (up = update?)

no, checkout is obtaining for the first time. up, which is synonymous with update, is bringing the already existing source tree up to date. if you have no source tree you can't update.

you're on your own there, i see no need to do this. If you want to not build games that's another matter, search the mailing list archives for SKIPDIR.

it has to compare local and remote files every time. patience is probably your friend.
