That's just an example of what a repository *might* look like; only the CVSROOT directory of administrative files is required. > $ cvs import -m "Junk Test" junk Junk_Dist Junk-Test > > N junk/ > cvs import: cannot lstat file : No such file or directory > N junk/ > cvs import: cannot lstat file : No such file or directory > N junk/ > cvs import: cannot lstat file : No such file or directory > N junk/ir1 > cvs import: cannot lstat file ir1: No such file or directory > N junk/S > cvs import: cannot lstat file S: No such file or directory What platform is this on? lstat() is a system routine that gets information about a file -- it would appear that it doesn't work right on your platform. In fact, it looks like a lot of things don't work right since it looks like CVS is trying to import files with no names. It would be informative to see an ``ls -lqR'' of the directory you're trying to import. > $ cd .. > $ cvs checkout junk Never checkout over an existing directory (I presume ``junk'' is the directory you just imported), especially one that you just imported. Either rename the existing directory before doing the checkout, or use the ``-d'' option to checkout to use a different name for the new directory. -Larry Jones Any game without push-ups, hits, burns or noogies is a sissy game. -- Calvin _______________________________________________ Bug-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-cvs
