Yes, you're right; the name of the CVS root directory should
not have a trailing slash. We thought we had already fixed
that in the documentation, but there were a few leftovers
I've just fixed. Thanks for your report.

Hi!

have a look on pages like
https://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=maitretarot

If I type cvs
address@hidden:/cvsroot/maitretarot/
co maitretarot (notice the ending slash for the -d
option), it will work, but then, cvs update -Pd will
not on my freebsd.

here is the error message:
$ cvs update -Pd
cvs update: in directory .:
cvs update: ignoring CVS/Root because it does not
contain an absolute pathname.
cvs update: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d'
option
cvs [update aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment
variable.


now, here is the fix:
rm -rf maitretarot
cvs
address@hidden:/cvsroot/maitretarot
co maitretarot (notice that I removed the ending slash)

And cvs update -Pd will work!


I'm not asking for support because I found a way to
have it work, but check this out and if I'm wrong
anywhere, tell me! If I'm right, please change the doc :)


This does not appear on GNU/Linux. I have the problem
on my freebsd-4.7 with cvs-1.11.1p1
