I think I´m following the directions, but not getting
anywhere...(where XXXX is, I am writing the password given me).
[tony@localhost ~]$ export
CVSROOT=:ext:abaldwin:XXXX@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
[tony@localhost ~]$ cvs -z9 co translate
cvs checkout: CVSROOT password specification is only valid for
cvs checkout: pserver connection method.
cvs [checkout aborted]: Bad CVSROOT:
`:ext:abaldwin:4534@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS'.
[tony@localhost ~]$
If I try to use cervisia or lincvs, it keeps asking me for a module,
and I don´t know what to give it.

Nope...
Seems I´ve gotten in, now, to
`:ext:abaldwin:4534@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS
Although there appears to be little or nothing that needs work for my
language pair.
(I speak French and Spanish, in addition to English and Portuguese-BR,
but I would
only be comfortable translating to PT-BR, since it´s really my second
language, in which I
am bilingual).
I´m more interested in translating documentation, however, and I can´t
seem to get into
|:ext:/|username|/@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/docs
with the username and password I was given.
Do I need to create a different account somewhere to assist with Fedora Documentation
translation?
