working with PEAR-CVS code

this one may be sounds stupid, but i am wondering... since the directory structure of the finally installed packages and the one in CVS is different how do you guys work on the code? a cvs-checkout actually needs to be installed to make it work properly, or is there an easier way, which lets me also check the code back into the cvs easily? do you install every package after updating from the cvs? thanks in advance -- Wolfram ... translating template system ... http://sourceforge.net/projects/simpletpl ... authentication system .... http://sf.net/projects/auth
