You may build your own from sources:

Fetch a copy of the .src.rpm file from the downloads page:
  http://ccvs.cvshome.org/servlets/ProjectDownloadList

and then rebuild it with the following commands:

sudo rpm --rebuild cvs-1.11.6-cvshome.org.1.src.rpm
sudo rpm -Fvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/cvs-1.11.6-cvshome.org.1.i386.rpm


I don't want to pick nits, but you *really* shouldn't build as the superuser. Also, current versions of rpm have moved the building to rpmbuild; --rebuild doesn't work by default as a switch to rpm on Redhat 8 or 9. To build as a normal user, simply decide where you want to build your RPMs. I chose a directory called "rpmbuild" in my home directory. (The following steps assume you're currently in your home directory.)

1. Create the working directory structure:
mkdir -p rpmbuild/BUILD rpmbuild/SOURCES rpmbuild/SPECS rpmbuild/SRPMS rpmbuild/RPMS rpmbuild/RPMS/i386


2. Configure RPM:
echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpmbuild" >> $HOME/.rpmmacros

3. Execute rpmbuild as a normal user:
rpmbuild --rebuild cvs-1.11.6-cvshome.org.1.src.rpm

4. Install the rpm as the super user:
sudo rpm -Fvh rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/cvs-1.11.6-cvshome.org.1.i386.rpm
