Ola,
I just did a cvs checkout openacs-4 originally, and now cvs -q -z3 update -d -P brings in new modules as they arrive in CVS.
If you can't handle the idea of "just grab everything" for bandwidth reasons, then you may have to try and create a directory called packages/openfts-driver and also one called packages/search, and then do a cvs update -d -P to pull them in??
