[GRASS-user] need help with mac os x installation

[Brandon M. Gabler]

Since we're on this topic, I need to ask a question about updating  
using Kyng's 6.3 builds on OSX. Say I have a version of 6.3 from  
Kyngesburye installed. Then I add additional scripts to the package.  
Then Kyng releases a new build with upgraded features from the newest  
6.3cvs. How do I then upgrade the build without losing the scripts  
that I added? I imagine I would need to compile from source and then  
do a cvs update, similar to what I've seen done on linux machines,  
but I am unfamiliar with how I would do that properly on my mac. So  
for all of us GRASS OSX users out there, how do we keep the most up- 
to-date features of GRASS without losing addons?

Thanks,
Brandon
