Well, I've checked the current CVS version. It fails.

Configuration uses Postgres in conjunction with CVS (as I mentioned
before). The current CVS version cannot ./genxref my sources. It
only prints two lines:
www-data@mirror:/home/data/lxr-cvs$ ./genxref --url="http://mirror.microdata-pos.de/lxr-cvs" --version="jbglaw_0_13"
*** / jbglaw_0_13 
### / jbglaw_0_13 

"jbglaw_0_13" is a tag.

Tryin' to get files (read: HTML made-up sources) from it fails, too:

        The directory /home/data/CVSROOT/linux// does not exist.
          ** Warning: Unable to open /home/data/CVSROOT/linux//

Of course, everything *is* in place:-) strace'ing it shows that LXR
stat()s all files in the given directory, but doesn't actually do
something.

Do you know what I could do wrong?
