Hi,

just trying to build 5.5 stable branch and seeing that
the FAQ is implicitely saying cvs should be used as root.
"First, start out by `get'-ing an initial tree:

(If you are following current):

        # cd /usr
        # cvs -qd anon...@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs get -P src

(If you are following the patch branch for 5.5):

        # cd /usr
        # cvs -qd anon...@anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org:/cvs get
        # -rOPENBSD_5_5 -P src
"

Wouldn't it be better to tell the user to add the local non-root
user to the wsrc group and then just do it without root permissions?
(changing # into $ in the examples)

Or is the change of this FAQ, already a FAQ? ;)

best regards
 Waldemar
