[ snip demo ] Hmmm... For a slackware mirror I expect that it would be fine. I tried downloading the patch from the web cvs, but I got this: Error: Unexpected output from cvs co: cvs [checkout aborted]: Absolute module reference invalid: `/rsync/patches/link-by-hash.diff' Check whether the directory /cvsroot/CVSROOT exists and the script has write-access to the CVSROOT/history file if it exists. The script needs to place lock files in the directory the file is in as well.
