For i386, I've always been able to find a binary package for cvsup in
the directory "packages/net" under the particular release. For sparc64,
there is no such binary package under either the 5.0 or 5.1 release
directory.
It's not a big deal, except that this contradicts the information in
section A.5 (Using CVSup) of the handbook.
But now I've got the binary from John's site. Thanks for the info.
