I'm running on Debian (woody-testing) and trying to use cvsup and cvsupd to keep two systems sync'd. I have never used either before so I don't fully understand everything yet. I got the server up (I thought) , but I couldn't get the client to pull the stuff. Finally, I saw some reference to the cvsup GUI and that you could disable it with the -g option. I didn't realize that it had a GUI. As soon as I did that, it pulled the files beautifully.
With the -g option ommitted, it seems to spin for a bit when running 'cvsup' and then quits. I see NO GUI whatsoever, no errors, it just doesn't do anything. There may be something else I don't understand or is missing from the .deb package, but I couldn't tell you what it was. Jeff
