Just tried with -N, like this:

export CVSROOT=":pserver:mailto:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot"
cvs login
(enter)
cvs -z3 co -r oacs-4-6 -d oacs-dotlrn -N acs-core

and it pulled everything in... But: it created oacs-dotlrn/openacs-4 and pulled the stuff you wanted to be in oacs-dotlrn/ into the dir oacs-dotlrn/openacs-4.

Perhaps the man page ("man cvs") will have an answer as to why... let me know if so :)

Hello Jim,

Yes, doing "cvs -z3 co -r oacs-4-6 -d oacs-dotlrn -N acs-core" checks out fine but everything is stores as you say, "oacs-dotlrn/openacs-4" so ... I don't know if this is a problem in the CVS repository but still, the easiest solution is just to avoid using "-d" and then to rename the "openacs-4" directory to whatever we want it to be called.

Thanks!
