I'm only a light user of cvs, and use it to keep track of my config
files on home machines, as well as my home projects.
One thing that seems convienient to me is to have basic system config
files like /etc/hosts /etc/syslog.conf and quite a few more in cvs and
only symlinks in the fs pointing to
Setup: Single user repository home setup
Light script devel and tracking of rc files
Probably going at this all wrong. My usage has grown up kind of by
accident. Whenever I needed to keep track of something, I'd figure
out enough about cvs to get it committed and available.

How can I get the current revision number of a package (module)?
And given that information, check out a version several versions
older?
Running `cvs status ' in the checked out module gives me piles of
data on every single file in the distro. If I run `cvs status gnus'

I see a handy guide to interpreting `update' output. Is there
something similar for `import'.

The cvs manual tells up we can't really remove directories from our
repository but then goes on to tell how to do it. First advice is to
cvs remove the files then just ignore the directory.
Well I took the other approach. The one that isn't advocated...
First delete then cvs remove any file in

However following Larrys' advice about editing src/options.h is not

That looks promising .. thanks.
If I knew more about tcpdump I guess I could find out something that
