Untar your old CVS repository on the new server (assume
/path/to/repository is the directory created on the new-server
hostname). Then run this command on the new server:

    cvs -d /path/to/repository init

you are now done with the conversion.

The init command will create any missing administrative files that were
not present on your old server. Everything else should work as-is. Of
course, you may need to look at any commitinfo/verifymsg/loginfo/taginfo
scripts you created to make certain that they will work properly on your
new server.

        Enjoy!
