The SMTP server I was using was initially blocked, and thanks to the
list owner, it is now fixed. As a result, this message may have been
backlocked and sent.
It is essentially a duplicate of another message, which has received
reasonable replies.

Hello all,
I noticed on http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#BldGetSrc that
there is information about preloading the tree, but does not mention
that getting to -current requires -rHEAD at least the first time using
'cvs update' after pre-loading the tree with the source files from the
last release.
I discovered (the semi-hard way) that to get to -current, you need
-rHEAD to be specified in the command line. This is after
pre-loading the tree, because the (src/sys/xenocara).tar.gz files all
have a check out of OPENBSD_5_7 (or whatever -stable release), frozen
to that point at the time of releasing. Running cvs up simply gets
me to the latest -stable.
My .cvsrc (between the hyphen lines):

diff -up
update -Pd
checkout -P

It seems the (src/sys/xenocara).tar.gz files are not
in the snapshots directory of any of the FTP mirrors I've seen.
I am willing to write a patch for this, but I want to ensure:
1. I am not missing anything hidden somewhere in another FAQ.
2. There are no mirrors which have the (src/sys/xenocara).tar.gz files
in their /pub/OpenBSD/snapshots directory.
3. That there is no other CVS command magic that I have missed, that
may have been covered by the FAQ.
4. That there are no other reasons not to document this information.
I will appreciate input from users and devs alike.
