So, I assume the only reason the instructions tell you to "cd" into the "Net_FTP" directory is so that your CVSROOT will implicitly point to the CVS repository using the CVS subdirectory in your checked-out copy of Net_FTP. Since "rtag" does not assume you are in a checked-out sandbox, you still have to give the module name in your command. So, it should be something like: - cvs rtag -b -r RELEASE_1_3_4 MAINT_1_3_4 *Net_FTP* although that module name might need to be *pear/Net_FTP* (I've not done enough direct CVS stuff with the PEAR CVS beyond co/up/ci to remember for sure). But again, the short answer is that the "rtag" command requires the CVS module name you want the branch created on. -- CRB
