Just to expand a little bit -- I guess the OACS CVS is set up so that every package is in a separate CVS module. I don't quite see how that's been done since /packages is part of acs-core but /packages/forums, for instance, isn't. When you update acs-core, doesn't it always ask you to add /packages/forums and all the other packages that aren't part of acs-core?
Anyway, maybe my problem is that my CVS tree is a single monolithic module, containing the core, all the distributed packages and all my packages lumped in together, which makes it hard to just upgrade acs-core? If so, how would I go about reconfiguring my CVS tree so that it matched the OACS CVS organization, and so that I could upgrade a little less painfully?
