The docs don't dfine what the value is supported to be for CSVROOT.
Fro the README.1ST:
1) Create a ".cvsrc" file in your home directory containing the
following lines. Use whatever Unix-type editor you're
comfortable with. Choices might be pico, vi, emacs, others:
cvs -z3
update -P -d
status -v
These are just some of the CVS options that I prefer, and make
some
things easier. They are not required.
2) Start up a shell window of some type, perhaps an xterm or an
rxvt.
Type the following commands into this one shell. You'll be
setting
an environment variable which will then allow you check out the
full
sources for the first time. After that, the environment
variable
won't be needed anymore and all shells you use will be able to
work with the remote CVS repository. The checked-out sources
contain
administration info which the CVS commands use to know which
remote
server to talk to, and which account/encrypted password to use
from
your ~/.cvspass file.
3) Follow the instructions listed under "Anonymous CVS Access". Go
to:
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/xastir/>, then click on "CVS"
to
find the instructions.
Now, running the commands yields
[chare at delta xastir-1.1.4]$ more $HOME/.cvsrc
cvs -z3
update -P -d
status -v
[chare at delta xastir-1.1.4]$
[chare at delta xastir-1.1.4]$ cvs
-d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xastir login
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/xastir
CVS password:
[chare at delta xastir-1.1.4]$ cvs update
cvs update: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
cvs [update aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.
[chare at delta xastir-1.1.4]$
What is missing?
