that really does make everything a shitload easier, btw.
( for -current too, install a snap, then cvs up with the -D
to a time that seems to make sense corresponding to the
time of the installed binaries. it's not a 1:1 match,
but it probably minimizes chances of fatal discrepancy ).
since following that method, i've begun to question whether
or not i really did ever have any problems doing make builds.
factually, i know that i used to screw little things up all
the time, but in essence, all of those have become a distant
memory.
