Hello All,

For the last several updates I've applied to my system, I've used plain CVS: cvs -q up -Pd

This is pretty slow for some reason, but I understand that's just how CVS works.

Michael W. Lucas' book Absolute OpenBSD (first edition) talks about using CVSup to update the local copy against the remote repo. (Page 344)

I also found this page: http://www.openbsd.gr/cvsup.html (notice that this is NOT .org.) the .org site doesn't have the same page: http://www.openbsd.org/cvsup.html

But the problem is I can't find cvsup in /usr/ports/net

nor anywhere else:
# make search key=cvsup
#

Does this mean cvssup is no longer used?

Then I came across cvsync: http://www.openbsd.org/cvsync.html

Is cvsync preferred now?

If so, could you advise what to use for collections if you want to have the same effect of:
cd /usr/src
cvs -q up -Pd


The example file displays: name openbsd release rcs
But I don't know if that will yield the desired outcome.

Thanks for any assistance.

Best,
j.b.
