[Sylvain]

Hello,

You found the right instructions page, so I'm relieved that it indeed
can be found easily.

Now, your problem more resides in the use of the cvs tool.  We do not
provide instructions for using CVS itself, because CVS already comes
with documentation and Savannah makes no non-standard use of CVS.

I am not sure on what you want to do here. You attempt to use the
'diff' command. Have you already done a checkout (command 'co'
described in the instructions page) of the repository? What do you
want to diff against? Your commands seems to try to do too many things
at once.

Also, the CVS setup didn't change since last year, so maybe there's a
bug somewhere. Is your quoted command what you used to type last year?
