By the way, can't cvs or cvsup include this CVSROOT info on > the command line, hence leading to a more general success rate? Yes, of course it can. Use the -d option to cvs: $ cvs -d ':pserver:cvs@server:/path' login $ cvs -d ':pserver:cvs@server:/path' checkout foo-module You would have to explicitly specify the -d option in all the invocations of CVS though[1], and this can get boring after a while. - Giorgos [1] Well, not exactly 100% *all* of them, since CVS will in some very well defined cases, pick up the "working CVSROOT" from the local files and happily use it. But that's a detail you'll find out easily after using CVS for a while. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
