If you do an update, you don't need to specify the CVSROOT nor the package,
both are recorded in CVS/Root and CVS/Repository, respectively. Here's how I
do updates myself:
<property name="cvs.exe" value="cvs" />
<exec executable="${cvs.exe}" dir="${basedir}" failonerror="true">
<arg line="-z3 -q update -dP" />
</exec>
where ${basedir} the root dir of the tree I want to update. I'm sure you can
do the same with <cvs> somehow, but I prefer to <exec> the cvs exe myself.
I've always found <cvs> weird to use. --DD
