I use CVS to get the latest sources for XEmacs beta. Do I need to

At the moment, the system is that we have a Mercurial repository
"xemacs" which is sort of a queue of patches that are believed to be
correct. As they are approved and there is no immediate report of a
build failure or horrible data-munging crash, they will be merged to
the Mercurial repository "xemacs-beta". Mike's target for that merge
is 48 hours to a few days.
You will need to get the Mercurial SCM (available as package mercurial
from DarwinPorts and surely available from whatever your package
manager of choice is) to access the "raw" queue ("xemacs"). I
believe
that the intent is to maintain a CVS mirror of the patches that are
approved and merged to the xemacs-beta repository. Mike?
But here (xemacs-beta) I see much traffic about 'hg', and the
CVS
repository files do not look to have changed much in the last
week--only menu-bar.el a few days ago.
No patches have been actually approved and merged to "xemacs-beta" in
any case. With the two track system, at least at current pace, it
makes sense to commit to "xemacs" rather than write a patch to
<xemacs-patches(a)xemacs.org>. Then the submission is documented by
automatically generating a patch mail.
