Hi!

I have got the sources of KDE as tarballs, unzipped into a directory tree=
=20
named kde-src . As I ran into a missing .h file while compiling, I wanted=
 to=20
update via CVS. But I failed to activate my installed sources as current =
CVS=20
tree. My .cvsrc has the following settings:

cvs -z4 -q
diff -u3 -p
update -PAd
checkout -P

I tried to cvs up kdelibs, but it complained of never having checked out=20
anything before. cvs co kdelibs of course moans on all the files already=20
being present and moves them out of the way.

I have checked out everything this morning, so the problem is solved for =
me=20
this time, but I think this topic is not well covered it the documentatio=
n.

What is the right way to first get sources as .tgz.bz2 via FTP and then g=
oing=20
on with updating via CVS?


Regards,

Rene Gass
