Either use -d, or set CVSROOT, or replace CVS/Root files with ones containing the path to the repo (cvschroot from the cvsutils package makes this easy). If your original checkout had been done via anoncvs you wouldn't have needed to do this. (Also ports.tar.gz misses some files - run "cvs up -Pd" across the whole tree to fetch them). -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
