I have a CVS tree of mozilla and I have been able to build in the past but now when I update my CVS tree using "cvs -z9 update -d" I get this error. cvs server: Updating expat cvs server: Updating expat/gennmtab cvs server: Updating expat/macbuild cvs server: Updating expat/macbuild/expat Data cvs [server aborted]: cannot open directory /cvsroot/mozilla/expat/macbuild/expat Data: No such file or directory I think this is a problem on your end. Could you check on your CVS server to see if it can be fixed?

Well, I got sick of this error and I went into the expat/macbuild directory and removed the directory called "expat Data". I then edited the CVS/Entries file to remove the "expat Data" entry and ran "cvs update" again. That seemed to fix the problem. I still do not know why I got this error in the first place (it might be a CVS bug related to removing a directory name with a space in it) but I was able to get the new CVS code. I would suggest not adding directories or files with spaces in the names to the CVS. Output from CVS after I removed that directory. cvs server: Updating expat cvs server: Updating expat/gennmtab cvs server: Updating expat/macbuild cvs server: Updating expat/sample cvs server: Updating expat/xmlparse cvs server: Updating expat/xmltok cvs server: Updating expat/xmlwf cvs server: Updating extensions
