Yes, as a matter of fact the latest version of reiserfsprongs we have is causing some trouble - a bug, apparently, that the package creator has been advised about. I tried to run reiserfsck --check /dev/xxx in single user mode doing routine maintenance this afternoon and couldn't. For the time being, therefore, I decided to downgrade one version so copied the CVS package for the earlier version to the existing PKGBUILD in /var/abs/base/reiserfsprogs, changed to that directory, ran makepkg -bci and voila. Now I should tell you that this practice might not work every time because urls for source code change on occasion or for perhaps other reasons. Today, however, that was not a problem and I was able to run file system checks on my network. Having CVS was a lifesaver today.

Is it possible to make packages from CVS?
thanks for the help, Shemeta
