more CVS trouble

[Joe Corneli]

Sorry about this... I'm a cvs newbie, so maybe I've just mucked up
the instructions Kai gave me last time.

I ran these commands:

cvs -z3 -dr:ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
export CVSROOT=":ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs"
cvs update -P

and got these results upon running ./configure && make bootstrap

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jcorneli/emacs/leim'
(cd man; make  info)
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jcorneli/emacs/man'
cd /home/jcorneli/emacs/man; makeinfo emacs.texi
emacs.texi:10: Unknown command `copying'.
emacs.texi:31: Unmatched `@end'.
makeinfo: Removing output file `../info/emacs' due to errors; use --force to preserve.
make[1]: *** [../info/emacs] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jcorneli/emacs/man'
make: *** [info] Error 2

Please help!

You need a more recent version of Texinfo.

The "r" in "-dr" looks strange.  Hm.  Oh!  It makes the files
read-only.  OK.

You don't need to export CVSROOT.  After the first "cvs co" you just
go to the "emacs" subdir created and say "cvs update -dP" there and
Bob's your uncle.

Some people have lots of shell aliases which change CVSROOT, but
that's mostly unnecessary!  It's only necessary to specify "-d" once
when doing the intial checkout, after that, just change to the right
directory.
