I could probably manually edit CVS/Entries, but this feels > a bit dirty. What are other packagers doing? Sometimes it helps posting a problem to think more about it and solve it. For posterity and google searches: Actually what I wanted is already the default. But one usually wants cvs to automatically discover new folders and pull them in (the -d option). This is so common, that at one time in your cvs life you will add it to ~/.cvsrc as a default option like $ cat ~/.cvsrc diff -ud update -P -d and you will forget about it, and you will make silly help requests like the one I did above. :) Now you dont need to remove the otherwise useful -d switch to update, instead use cvs -fq up to get the desired (non-verbose) updating w/o getting new packages in. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
