You use the command:

cvs up -r<tag>

Where tag is what you want to update to.

When this version is released, the tag will be: KDE_3_3_BRANCH, but until then 
you must use the tag for what you want to upgrade to.

You can check here:

http://webcvs.kde.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdelibs/

at the bottom of the page to see which tags are available.  That is, when:

	KDE_3_3_0_ALPHA_2

is available, it will be listed there and you can use it.  If you wish to follow 
the development of the new release, you can use:

	HEAD

But, this will not always compile and if it does, it will not always work.
