But I wonder, how do you access CVS without this?
You shouldn't need it. What happens if you don't have it?
It still seems to work. :-)
CVS records the root location in the checked out copy, so you only need to supply a CVS root when doing cvs checkout and even then you don't
Just wondering, can I also make CVS record which CVS_RSH to use? For Fedora I use a special one to keep the SSH connection open to speed up things[0]. It probably works for other CVS projects, too, but luckily I do not need to use any currently.
need to set CVSROOT, you can just do "cvs -d :ext:foo@bar:/baz checkout gazonk". The fedora-cvs tool does set CVSROOT but it could just as well use -d instead.
Thanks, I did not know about fedora-cvs before, which also explains my previous mail to this thread. :-)
