[lazarus] Question about CVS updates and building

[Tony Maro]

After a CVS update, I generally CD into the lazarus directory and do a 
"make clean" followed by a "make".

Of course this leaves me with no custom packages or components 
installed, but I know that everything is properly updated.

Is there a mo betta way to do this?  I know the "preferred" way to build 
Lazarus is from the IDE, but I always question what I should and 
shouldn't check on build...

What's the recommended method?

Thanks,
Tony
