nand1 from irc told me it's already written later in the page.


If you are updating a source tree that you initially fetched
from a different server, or from a tar file, you must
add the -d [cvsroot] option to cvs.


not sure if this could be moved under "Updating an existin tree", this
would make more sense to tell this before people need it



anoncvs.html: tell reader to use -d if updating first time from tgz

2019-06-28 Thread Solene Rapenne
Hi

in anoncvs.html, if the user choose to use tgz sources instead of a
checkout, the update examples won't work because no cvs server will be
set without passing -d parameter to the cvs command.

Not sure about the wording, if a good english speaker can word it
better, go on :)

 Choose the Anonymous CVS server you are going to use from the
 list of servers below, then you can start using cvs.
 If you begin with src.tar.gz and sys.tar.gz as
