All this recent traffic regarding upgrading old versions, plus about a half hour 
of time this AM that no one was trying to get my attention, inspired me to try 
the update from 1.98 to 1.99 on my mobile PC. 


I am running Debian Lenny on that one.  Xastir was originally installed from 
CVS, so I figured this should be a no brainer....  


Both README.CVS and Notes:CVS had me believing that I should just be able to 
"cvs update" and su, then "make install", and I should be at 1.99 .  

Well, that did not work so well.  I still had 1.98 .  

So then I took a look at the Debian Lenny HowTo, and decided that I should do 
the full routine with the bootstrap, configure, and make steps too.  

Still no joy, still 1.98 . 

The "make install" seems to be working OK.  I get a "new" 1.98 
/usr/local/bin/xastir with today's date each time I go through with the 
process.  


"cvs update" does not generate any errors and claims to be updating, although it 
runs through pretty quick.  Should I see individual files being transferred? I 
am not FWIW.  


What am I missing?

Thanks
