Greetings all,
I just finished upgrading to 2.1.6, and I started tracking -stable
with cvsup.  I need a few pointers..

Whats the best way to re-build with new fixes?  make world comes to
mind, but thats a big project to include a single fix.  not to mention
the large disk space requirements.  I see a few other targets in the
make file, but I'm not sure what to use..  I can imagine manually
re-making and installing specific things (Like the recent cron fix),
but I run into problem #2....

Does CVSup give me any sort of record on it's changes?  or do I have
to capture it's output from the -L switch?  I've been reading the cvs
man pages, but it looks like I don't really have enough of a CVS tree
to do normal ops.

Thanks for any guidance,
Robert
