asterisk users - Nov 2003 - CVS repository changes

So, the CVS repository has been redone, like we said a couple of weeks ago.
This means that some modules will have to be checked out fresh -- just doing
"cvs update" (or "make update") will *NOT* work.  The
modules in question
are:

	asterisk
	gastman
	gnophone
	libpri
	zapata
	zaptel

The only other notable difference for the time being is that you will be
able to check out previous releases by symbolic tag, e.g. you can now get
Asterisk 0.5.0 by doing "cvs checkout -r v0-5-0 asterisk".  We also
have a
bit more history for the modules listed above, from before the loss of the
CVS repository.  This history is reconstructed from the FTP releases, so the
granularity is not the same as for more recent changes.

Going forward, we also expect to start using branches for major releases,
with bugfixes only on these branches and so forth.

For those of us that are asterisk users but not linux junkies (no disrespect
intended), would you or someone post a simple email that _briefly_
summarizes a couple of the more common ways to update our source?

I realize there has been bits and pieces posted in various emails, how
about consolidating those into a one/two page summary.

Thanks
