Looks like you forgot to checkout the module first.
You need to do
cvs co jakarta-commons/math
after the cvs login and CVSROOT export.
That will create a local cvs sandbox for you. Find the files that you want to patch in your newly created local jakarta-commons/math, make your changes and then run the diff from the sandbox directory where the modified files reside.
See http://www.apache.org/dev/version-control.html
In addition to the CVS homepage referenced there, here is another CVS reference that I like:
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html
Thanks in advance for the patches!

I have some minor patches (javadoc) to submit for this project, but I have not been successful in creating the unified diff file from CVS. I tried the following:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic login password: anoncvs
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic
cvs diff -u MathUtils.java
but with no success. Other variations with the -d option, and attempts to specify a path failed. I was in the directory where the MathUtils.java file was located on my local system. I am new to using CVS, and I can well guess I am missing something (perhaps a lot) here, any help would be appreciated.
