i tried to use cvs for a spell now.
as far as i can tell summon does download the sources fine, and does a
tarball. so far so good.

but when i do summon on a later time, it just detects that the sources are
there, and does nothing. but imho it should (maybe optionally) uncompress the
old sources and do a update and compress them again!

i currently have whole kde from cvs in a dir, and when i update, i of course
don't download everything again, but only update the sources.

what to do with the partially compiled binaries i do not know.
when manually doing all that i can try just a new make && make install, and
decide on failure if i try again from the beginning of BUILD - but that's a
other story. downloading is the slowest part, and that part is well defined
imho. it should reuse the sources!

Worf
