Which files do you mean here? Afaik, cvs needs to know the CVSROOT and
when I joined as a package maintainer, the wiki suggested to export the
CVSROOT variable in .bashrc. It would be this one for you:
export CVSROOT=:ext:tannhauser at cvs.fedoraproject.org:/cvs/pkgs

But I wonder, how do you access CVS without this?

I still have a separate user, that has a different name than my FAS
account, because I do not want to use a global CVSROOT variable for my
normal account to avoid problems with other projects using CVS.
