adding directories and files directly under /cvs

[David Berry]

Larry,

I am able to add and commit directories
1 level under the /cvs directory with no
problem. However, when I try to add a 
directory directly below the /cvs directory,
I get :

The directory uiutl exists in scripts and
has all the code within.
cato:/users/721/berry/src/scripts% cvs add uiutl
cvs add: in directory .:
cvs [add aborted]: *PANIC* administration files missing


Try again: cvs is located in /cm/cvs

cato:/users/721/berry/src/scripts% cvs add /cm/cvs/uiutl
cvs add: in directory /cm/cvs:
cvs [add aborted]: there is no version here; do 'cvs checkout' first
cato:/users/721/berry/src/scripts% 


My desire is to create /cvs/uiutl directory
and fill the uiutl directory with all the files
associated with the uiutl program. Can you tell
me what I am doing wrong?

I am able to add new directories within existing
directories under /cvs:

Create my local directory!
cato:/users/721/berry/src/scripts/esproc% mkdir newproc

Add it to the Repository!
cato:/users/721/berry/src/scripts/esproc% cvs add newproc
Directory /cm/cvs/esproc/newproc added to the repository
cato:/users/721/berry/src/scripts/esproc%
Success!!!

Regards,
David Berry
