FYI,

~    cvs status

returned the following:

~    [arthur@rodney temp]$ cvs status
~    cvs status: No CVSROOT specified!  Please use the `-d' option
~    cvs [status aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.

hope this helps with debugging.

Thanks for your generous help.

|Use "cvs status" to check wether you are really on the B-0.93 branch:
|
|File: common.h          Status: Up-to-date
|
|   Working revision:    1.184.2.2
|   Repository revision: 1.184.2.2      
|/cvsroot/gtk-gnutella/gtk-gnutella-current/src/common.h,v
|   Sticky Tag:          B-0-93 (branch: 1.184.2)
|   Sticky Date:         (none)
|   Sticky Options:      (none
|
|If you are, it's ok and the version number in the branch needs to be
|fixed. Just ignore the messages about new versions being available.

| Richard,
|
| I am not used to using CVS, so I followed your instructions
| literally.  I ran the cvs commands from a temporary directory that I
| use for all downloads. (~/temp/).  Prior to receiving your
| instructions, I downloaded the 0.94 cvs using the website instructions
| and it created the directory ~/temp/gtk-gnutella-current/.
|
| After receiving your instructions and running them, the updates were
| saved to the ~/temp/gtk-gnutella-current/ directory.  After
| installing, I renamed the directory ~/temp/gtk-gnutella-0.93.4u-1/ (to
| keep with version naming conventions as I understand them).
|
| While running gtk-gnutella, (0.93.4u-stable) the status line informed
| me that there was an update available, so I ran your instructions
| again, and did another install.  gtk-gnutella now reports that it is
| version 0.93.4u-unstable, and the status line reports yet another
| available update.
|
| I am confused as to what to do at this point, i.e. whether to continue
| updating, whether to reinstall the stable version which still remains
| on my drive in the renamed directory, or whether to stay put.  Your
| recommendations?
|
| Thanks for your continuing help.
