  • cvsimport script can be used for creating initial builds as well as updates. It is recommended only to use it for initial imports and update spec/sources/.cvsignore individually for further updates.
  • Run cvs up to update cvs after running cvs import
  • example scratch build: koji build --scratch dist-f8 Desktop/unrar-0.0.1-1.20070515cvs.src.rpm
