        That's fairly more complicated than that. You want to keep
the mirror the traditional way, not with CVS. In order to run a CVS
based mirror you'll also have to run scripts that generate pages from
sources in CVS. The result of the scripts is not pushed back in CVS.
You can check this in gnudist:/home/www/bin/nightly to get an idea.

        Take care,
