:As I understand it, we already need cvsup installed.  What does cvsup do
:that rsync does not, if rsync's easier to include? 
 
    cvsup understands cvs, so it will only download the incremental patch
    or tag change when a commit is made.  rsync will copy the whole file if
    it changes.  cvsup also understands files which are appended to (like
    log files).  I'm not sure if rsync understands appends but I think it
    will copy the whole file in that case too.

    But, insofar as the base system goes, I think rsync is quite reasonable.
