Path expansion in modules fil

[Vincent Bonin]

Hi everybody!

I am using cvs v. 1.10.6 with RH6.2
To my knowledged, I am not using it in the pserver mode
(how can i find out?)
I want to specify a directory in the modules file
relative to the user's home directory. I have tried
the following options but did not succeed

# as specified in cvs manual (1.10.6) app. C
test -d ~/local testModule
# as specified in cvs manual (1.9) app B
test -d ${HOME}/local testModule
# as specified in cvs manual (1.10.6) App. C
test -d ${=HOME}/local testModule

In all cases, cvs (or the os) did not expand the
user's home directory. instead it created directories
with the (ackward) names '~', '${HOME}' and '${=HOME}'.

Is there something i am missing here?

thanks for your help

vincent
