The ? files are files/directories which are in your tree, but not in the CVS repository. Apparently, you are fond of building stuff from source rather than using packages. :) (hmm...some of that stuff looks like it is in the wrong place. you might have Other Problems there) The error message is, unfortunately, very vague. CVS is kinda bizzare -- you can spend a lot of time trying to figure out why it can't create something in your /tmp directory, only to find out it was complaining about a problem on the SERVER end. So...first of all, check to make sure your /tmp directory is writable, make sure you have plenty of free space (note how I carefully dodged the any numbers that define "plenty" -- but 20M would probably do it). If that doesn't do it, try a different repository. Or try today, the problem may be long-since resolved. Nick.
