In fact, both the NetBSD guide (chapter 30) and the pkgsrc guide (chapter 2) make this recommendation explicitly; though interestingly they don't recommend exactly the same options. Setting ~/.cvsrc (mostly following the pkgsrc guide) is the first thing I do to my user account on a newly installed machine. Which is probably why people don't talk about it much (beyond the guides). Once you've set ~/.cvsrc, you rarely have to think about it. -- IDL
