Maintaining the sources

The basic tool is the CVS "update" command.  This refreshes your current working copy of the sources and updates it with the latest version in CVS.  Any changes you have made that are not present in the CVS copy will be seamlessly merged. 

You can run the following command in any CVS-originated directory to get the latest and greatest:

$ cvs update

By default this command will recurse through lower level subdirectories . 

Updates in the kernel tree (uClinux-2.4.x) are fairly common.  A message will usually be posted to the mailling list when important changes are made and registered in CVS.  It is a good idea to do an update whenever this occurs. 

Changes in the userland distribution (uclinux-dist) are much less frequent, but may still occur from time to time.  Again, watch the mailing list for info on how to proceed.
