cvs export dude

[Martinez Pla, Jose Antonio]

Hi all,

 

I´m trying to export a cvs proyect from a remote host from my local machine as:

 

cvs –d :pserver:<user>@<host>:<port><repository> export –r <revision_tag> -d <dir> <module>

 

If I run this line, I get the proyect on my working directory, on directory <dir>.

My problem is that I want the proyect to be downloaded on the /tmp directory, but if I write /tmp on the –d <dir> option, I get this message:

 

cvs [export aborted]: absolute pathname `/tmp' illegal for server

 

so, is there any chance to make this ?

 

Thanks.
