After cvs import did you do cvs Checkin/Commit or not? Only when you do cvs commit you files will be imported in the repository or they will be empty files. Do "cvs checkin" for that module and try doing checkout without "-n" switch. I mean try "cvs checkout MyModule".
Regarding the incomprehensible/unreliable cvs doc then let us know which one you read. The one of the cvs home (Cederqvist) at http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs.html is one best document. I created my whole repository on that and supporting more than 50 projects and 10 users at now.

The reason I hate it is that every time I've tried to read the documentation I've found it either incomprehensible or unreliable. In my experience, this is par for the course for free software, and that's why I don't touch it with a ten-foot pole. But now my job depends on it, so I desperately need every bit of help I can get... On page 29, one is instructed to do this: $ cd $WDIR $ cvs import -m "Imported sources" yoyodine/$RDIR yoyo start $ cd .. I've done this (though, of course, I've changed "yoyodine/$RDIR" to "MyModule", and "yoyo" to $USER). Next, the instructions say to do try this: $ cvs checkout yoyodine/$RDIR so I try: $ cvs -n checkout MyModule but I get an error message: cvs checkout: cannot chdir to MyModule: Not a directory cvs checkout: ignoring module MyModule Why am I getting the "cannot chdir" error message? My CVSROOT variable is properly set, and the directory $CVSROOT/MyModule exists: % ls -ld $CVSROOT/MyModule drwxrwsr-x 3 kynn cvs 4096 Mar 11 11:49 /usr/local/cvsroot/MyModule Thank you for all your help. kj P.S. please Cc me in your replies. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
