If you are using a bourne shell variant export CVSROOT if you are using a C shell variant (csh or tcsh) setenv CVSROOT /backup.save/CVS just because you have a local variable in your shell does not mean that the cvs command wil lsee it. Also, you will want to make sure that the repository is initialized: cvs -d /backups.save/CVS init -- Mark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBRa8o3x41pRYZE/gRAjPBAKCxaO5BBc1rGTV8bb2oKb1a5f18IQCfeJ+a WI/IBgYgxJCLiRAhnqDXcj0= =tw+U -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
