Here is my setup:

[dimi at dimi dimi]$ ls -ld /var/cvsup
drwxrwxrwx    4 root     root         4096 May 21 03:25 /var/cvsup
[dimi at dimi dimi]$ ls -ld /var/cvs
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 May 21 03:29 /var/cvs
[dimi at dimi dimi]$ ls -l /var/cvs
total 4
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 May 21 03:29 CVSROOT
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 May 21 03:28 wine -> ../cvsup/wine/
[dimi at dimi dimi]$ cat ~/cvsup.sup
*default base=/var/cvsup delete compress
wine release=wine host=cvs.winehq.com
[dimi at dimi dimi]$

What I do then is:
cvs -d /var/cvs co wine
to create your working directory.

When I want to update, I do:

[dimi at dimi wine] cvsup ~/cvsup.sup
[dimi at dimi wine] cvs up

Everything else is as if you work directly with the WineHQ tree,
only _a_lot_ faster.

HTH,
Dimi.
