Hi all,

just updated my machine 4.8-RELEASE to 4.9-STABLE using 
cvsup - /root/stable-supfile
following the handbook - thanks for the clue...

the hand book mentions automating cvsup for the src using cron...

given that there is quite a lot involved in make buildworld, etc., some of 
which is likely human interactive, I presume the implication is JUST to 
update the src tree (and ports tree) and rebuild manually when you wnat to... 
so that the cron job just shortcuts the download...

is that correct?
