I don't want to seem too ungrateful, but it would have been a little
helpful if we had received some notice that things were being changed.

Please take into account that I have thoroughly MUNGed my CVS tree and
that this has somehow broken my desktop.  I can't figure that out since
the build script has: "make && make install" so ... ???

I managed to get Kwin and Kicker running with a xinitrc script but the
rest of it is broken.

So, I did as you said:

I choose a new mirror. To make it easier to switch, I put it in a file. 
Rewrote my scripts to 'cat' the file for the server name.  Wrote a
script to update my CVS tree using the cvschroot utility.  Now I run my
updated script and I get:

Fatal error, aborting.
kde: no such user

So, I thought that it might be the script and tried ti by hand:

[root@localhost kde]# cvs up kdebase
Fatal error, aborting.
kde: no such user
[root@localhost kde]# 

Clearly, there is something that I just don't grok here.
