It should normally be located under ${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/ Please check the cvs (1) manual and the init command; << init - Initialize a repository by adding the CVSROOT sub- directory and some default control files. You must use this command or initialize the repository in some other way before you can use it. >> I.e. $ cvs -d /files/www/data/source init (You may omit -d if you set the CVSROOT variable).
