Thanks for the info. I'm not a CVS user, and it'll take me a while to sort out what's required to run the basic distribution and what's optional user-contributed stuff. My intention was to install the basic CVS stuff as the default and put the user-contrib stuff in /usr/doc/cvs. If you can help me sort this out, it'll speed up a fix to the package.
