     I do an overnight anoncvs update.  It isn't the most efficient
     way to do it but I don't know of any other official way to do it.
I used to use cvsup from one of the NetBSD mirror sites, but I finally
discovered that the cvsup mirrors for pkgsrc just didn't seem to update
properly, so I switched back to anoncvs and the problem disappeared.
Slower, but safer.
