28 Because the entire directory in question is (now) empty, the
29 requirements are a bit different.

31 First, you must do the `cvs co` *without* the "-P" flag (check your
32 ~/.cvsrc). You can bypass a ~/.cvsrc by passing "-f" to cvs, like so:
33
34 CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@××××××××××××××.org:/var/cvsroot"
35 cvs -f -d "$CVSROOT" co gentoo-x86/app-admin/rackview
36
37 You can then cd into the directory in question
38 (gentoo-x86/app-admin/rackview), and for each file that you want,
39 determine the revision of the file just before it was removed (subtract
40 0.1 from the revision shown on the web view, or read the output of `cvs
41 log`).
42
43 You can then do `cvs up -r1.X file`, replacing "1.X" with the CVS
44 revision and "file" with the filename in question. Note that CVS
45 tracked every file separately, so the revisions will differ between files.
