CVSROOT is the name that the cvs utility uses to store its main data files and the RCS <file>,v files. Often, CVS uses the directory /home/<user>/cvsroot for the user <user>. CVS and RCS are worth understanding if you are doing serious project development. RCS is primarily for the signle user or a very few users/developers; CVS (which uses RCS) is for more widely distributed projects. gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
