cvs co -d .

[Zanabria, Moises]

Hi Guys:

I sent and email some weeks ago regarding to "cvs co -d . oracle32/make" and
the server send me this error
cvs server: existing repository /home/kmcvs/src does not match
/home/kmcvs/src/oracle32
cvs server: ignoring module oracle32/make

I was looking into in the archives files and I saw that someone else had the
same problem some time ago, but I was looking for the answer but I never
found it, so if someone else know the answer please let me know.

BTW. I'm using Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client)
and Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10 (server)
Thanks.

Moises.

You might want to try 'cvs -H checkout'
which gives you a little help on the switches cvs checkout
understands. Among them you'll find '-d dir'.
I think 'cvs co -d . dir/foo' will give you ./foo 

When xxx is a cvs command, 'cvs -H xxx'
gives you a usage for 'cvs xxx'.

cvs co -d <dir> <project name>

I just tried

cvs co -d . watermeter

and got an error

wtr005:/tmp/wtr> cvs co -d . watermeter
cvs server: existing repository /usr/local/cvsroot does not match
/usr/local/cvsroot/watermeter
cvs server: ignoring module watermeter

and to show cvs is infact working....

wtr005:/tmp/wtr> cvs co  watermeter
cvs server: Updating watermeter
U watermeter/Imakefile
U watermeter/Makefile
U watermeter/Makefile.am
U watermeter/Makefile.in
U watermeter/README
U watermeter/wtridef.h
U watermeter/wtrinc.h
U watermeter/wtrinit.c
U watermeter/wtrmain.c
U watermeter/wtrsend.c
wtr005:/tmp/wtr> 

What am I doing wrong?
