It turns out that, for some unknown reason, CVS fails to update my arch
directory with the arm directory from the anoncvs server. I can see it
at http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/ but still it is not downloaded to my local
sandbox. The sandbox is a on NetBSD/sparc 1.4 system running a pretty
recent cvs 1.11 from pkgsrc.

Does anyone out there have any idea of why this is happening?

When we are talking about CVS, there is another thing that I would like
an answer to, and that is how best to keep a local CVS repository of the
NetBSD src tree and at the same time keeping it in sync with the NetBSD
CVS repository.

The reason I ask is that I would like to experiment with the NetBSD
source code, and still be in sync with the current development.
Naturally it would be useful for me to have a local repository where I can
track my local changes.

I probably need to have a separate vendor branch for NetBSD in my
repository, or is there a better way?

And, BTW, which list is the best to discuss issues like this?
current-users comes to mind, but that really doesn't feel right, as this
has nothing to do with development of the NetBSD source code.

TIA!
