Because the entire directory in question is (now) empty, the requirements are a bit different. First, you must do the `cvs co` *without* the "-P" flag (check your ~/.cvsrc). You can bypass a ~/.cvsrc by passing "-f" to cvs, like so: CVSROOT=":pserver:[email protected]:/var/cvsroot" cvs -f -d "$CVSROOT" co gentoo-x86/app-admin/rackview You can then cd into the directory in question (gentoo-x86/app-admin/rackview), and for each file that you want, determine the revision of the file just before it was removed (subtract 0.1 from the revision shown on the web view, or read the output of `cvs log`). You can then do `cvs up -r1.X file`, replacing "1.X" with the CVS revision and "file" with the filename in question. Note that CVS tracked every file separately, so the revisions will differ between files. -- Jonathan Callen
