Two CVS questions:

1) I have found one of the CVS problems is a password issue (I assume).

http://gump.cocoondev.org/cvs_bsf.html
http://lsd.student.utwente.nl/gump/bsf/update/update_bsf.html

both use the string:

   cvs -z3 -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/cvs/bsf update -P -d -A bsf

... but only the traditional gump works. Pythong Gump gets:

cvs update: authorization failed: server oss.software.ibm.com rejected access to 
/usr/cvs/bsf for user anoncvs
cvs update: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password

I see code in update.py to do some sort of modification to ~/.cvspass, is that the 
kosher approach to logging in? Can I get help with this part, or details on how to 
make this work?

2) We have a CVS directory, and we do an "update" to see what has changed, and I 
capture that to a log file for viewing. I'd like to start to detected "if anything 
changed" (if an update occured) for (1) optimization for folks who want it (2) 
statistics. Is my best bet to use -q and any output means something changed, or should 
I look for "^U " in the output, or ????? Suggestions please.

regards

Adam
