If the patches have been applied to the stable branch, you should not
need to download them yourself; just check out the relevant branch and
build it. e.g. to check out the 8.1 stable branch, do:
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs(at)anoncvs(dot)postgresql(dot)org:/projects/cvsroot co
-P -r REL8_1_STABLE pgsql
And if they haven't been applied, you should wait till they have been,
since only then will you know that they have been properly reviewed.
In short, you shouldn't need to apply patches directly, unless you are
testing to assist the patch author.
