Sorry. It doesn't happen to me.

I get the following:
grundler <518>cvs update -APd linux
cvs update: in directory linux:
cvs update: ignoring CVS/Root because it specifies a non-existent repository /home/cvs/parisc
...
ad nauseum for every CVS/Root file in the tree.

One needs to:
1) echo $CVSROOT > ~/Root
2) find linux -name Root -exec cp ~/Root \{\} \;

(CVSROOT is the ":pserver:..." value posted several times earlier.)

I'm not sure who owns the script that make tarballs from cvs source trees.
But adding those two steps would take care of this for most people.


Now I get:
grundler <523>cvs update -APd linux
P linux/Makefile
P linux/arch/parisc/kernel/hardware.c
grundler <524>pwd
/home/grundler
grundler <525>cat ~/.cvsrc
cvs -z3 -q
diff -uNp
update -Pd
rm -f
grundler <526>head -4 linux/Makefile
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 4
SUBLEVEL = 9
EXTRAVERSION = -pa15
grundler <527>echo $CVSROOT
:pserver:anonymous@puffin.external.hp.com:/home/cvs/parisc
grundler <528>


I already forgot I don't need to specify "-Pd" options
on the command line... :^)
