Using cvs to check out the repository is actually quite simple. YOu
need to install cvs first (apt-get install cvs), then follow the
instructions on the pure-data.sf.net website under "Developers". 

Once you have checked out the soruce, you can use just "cvs update" in
that directory to keep them up to date.

Ciao
