It should work -- it does here :-) I actually already had that set.... (CVSup file below), and I run cvsup every friday night as a cron job. So, I just re-ran cvsup, and then started over again. As I read more, I think I see a confusion coming to light. My impression was that "cvs" and "cvsup" were two separate and distinct issues and entities. Are they more directly and closely related that I thought? Are their settings actually closely related? I removed all the directories I made in /home/ncvs/CVSROOT/ and in /var/tmp/webbuild, and tried cvs again, as shown here: merlin# cvs -R co doc cvs [checkout aborted]: there is no repository /home/ncvs/doc merlin# mkdir /home/ncvs/doc merlin# cvs -R co doc cvs checkout: Updating doc merlin# cvs -R co www cvs checkout: cannot find module `www' - ignored merlin# cvs -R co www_en cvs [checkout aborted]: there is no repository /home/ncvs/www/en merlin# mkdir /home/ncvs/www merlin# mkdir /home/ncvs/www/en merlin# cvs -R co www_en cvs checkout: Updating www_en merlin# cd doc merlin# ls -al total 3 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Jul 16 14:38 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Jul 16 14:39 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 16 14:38 CVS merlin# make links make: don't know how to make links. Stop Which I still understand, being without a Makefile. And lastly, here's the CVSup file that I use (btw, I keep the entire tree on it's own file system called /cvs) ... merlin# cat /cvs/CVSup *default umask=077 *default release=cvs *default host=cvsup4.freebsd.org *default tag=RELENG_4 *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/cvs *default delete *default use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all doc-all cvs-all cvs-crypto www Side note - "cvs-crypto" comes up with "Unknown collection", which is odd?
