Already done but, as i said, these examples are only for current, what
is the tag for the Stable branch (if any ?)

Nope. I want to use it with NetBSD, not with FreeBSD. I spoke about
FBSD only to give an example of the simplicity of the cvsup method. It
seems it's possible to use cvup with NetBSD but i've found nowhere the
relevant tag for stable branch...
I've tried to use 'sup' replacing 'current' with 'release-1-5' in the
/etc/supfiles/coll.list, something like :
release-1-5 release=allsrc ... [all stuff remains inchanged]
then do a "sup -szv", but the retrieving process is endless (i've
stopped it after an hour or so) even while i've installed the latest
sources today... There's probably something i don't still understand
with cvs :(

Argh, i'm not near my NetBSD box, now... I will look at this
tomorrow...
Anyway, thanks for your help,
