Usually what you will do is create a patch against the repository so in your case you'd have to do 1) cd ~/your/development/path 2) cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository checkout pear/Net_GeoIP 3) cd pear/Net_GeoIP 4) Make changes to your GeoIP file there 5) Write a test for your patch 6) then the final command is: "cvs diff -u > BugNumber.patch" And you are done :) Just make sure you are making patch from the repository -- Slan, David
