You may build your own from sources:
Fetch a copy of the .src.rpm file from the downloads page:
http://ccvs.cvshome.org/servlets/ProjectDownloadList
and then rebuild it with the following commands:
sudo rpm --rebuild cvs-1.11.6-cvshome.org.1.src.rpm
sudo rpm -Fvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/cvs-1.11.6-cvshome.org.1.i386.rpm
I don't want to pick nits, but you *really* shouldn't build as the
superuser. Also, current versions of rpm have moved the building to
rpmbuild; --rebuild doesn't work by default as a switch to rpm on Redhat
8 or 9. To build as a normal user, simply decide where you want to build
your RPMs. I chose a directory called "rpmbuild" in my home directory.
(The following steps assume you're currently in your home directory.)
1. Create the working directory structure:
mkdir -p rpmbuild/BUILD rpmbuild/SOURCES rpmbuild/SPECS rpmbuild/SRPMS
rpmbuild/RPMS rpmbuild/RPMS/i386
2. Configure RPM:
echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpmbuild" >> $HOME/.rpmmacros
3. Execute rpmbuild as a normal user:
rpmbuild --rebuild cvs-1.11.6-cvshome.org.1.src.rpm
4. Install the rpm as the super user:
sudo rpm -Fvh rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/cvs-1.11.6-cvshome.org.1.i386.rpm
