this would be fine with me as I provide the source rpm's anyway. I'm not 
doing anything that special but I don't have write access for cvs. Also I 
know how to do checkouts but doing updates and all that stuff I'm not 
familiar with as I've never actually used cvs for anything accept checkout. 

On another note I've used cervesa and wincvs they both leace allot to be 
desired but I find cervesa criptic and almost unusable. at least I've never 
been able to figure out how to get it to work. Rather I just have a few shell 
scripts that I use to do my cvs stuff with.
