Re: How to update?

[Amadeus Stevenson <amadeus.stevenson%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hello,

Thanks for the help.

Using the "-d :ext:amadeus_z%cvs.sf.net@localhost:/cvsroot/pkgsrc-wip" after
each "cvs" and before the rm/commit bit worked.

The update took some time to "propagate" but has worked!

What kind of CVSROOT do I need to export so I can simply use cvs up
etc. without having to login each transaction?

Thanks, I posted to the review list.
