This is a bug in an NB65M1, but can probably found in all version at least since 6.0. I inadvertently put the standard pserver port 2401 into a ext: protocol setup (the GUI offers this). Then I added several projects to my CVS repository. Now when I issue any cvs command from the command line, I get a slew of warnings about port setting not supported with the ext: protocol. I tested this with cvs 1.11.22 and 1.12.12. This is probably also a bug in the UI spec. P2, because in this way NB allows or even encourages me to create corrupted data. (Here a snippet of the warnings, one warning per CVS subdirectory): cvs update: ignoring CVS/Root because it does not contain a valid root. cvs update: CVSROOT port specification is only valid for gserver, kserver, cvs update: and pserver connection methods. cvs update: in directory webapp/WEB-INF: cvs update: ignoring CVS/Root because it does not contain a valid root. cvs update: CVSROOT port specification is only valid for gserver, kserver, cvs update: and pserver connection methods. cvs update: in directory webapp/WEB-INF/classes: cvs update: ignoring CVS/Root because it does not contain a valid root. cvs update: CVSROOT port specification is only valid for gserver, kserver, cvs update: and pserver connection methods. cvs update: in directory webapp/WEB-INF/classes: cvs update: ignoring CVS/Root because it does not contain a valid root. cvs update: CVSROOT port specification is only valid for gserver, kserver, cvs update: and pserver connection methods. ... and so on ...

What is your cvs root string then? A simple fix in your case is to run CVS/Change CVS Root and enter correct cvs root there. We'll add a check for that.
Maros, the root string is like :ext:itsme@where.ami.org:2401:/cvs/foo/bar. The :2401 part is obviously forbidden with :ext:. I was aware of the change root functionality and I used it on my windows PC, but my Solaris box is so underpowered (Sun Blade 100 with 512 MB RAM...) that it was faster to fix the problem using bash and sed instead of waiting for NB6.1 to do the job. Thanks, Georg
Added checks for port number ce0946917366
Integrated into 'main-golden', available in build *200807311401* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/ce0946917366 User: Maros Sandor <msandor@netbeans.org> Log: #140948: Checking for correct CVSROOT format: port is only allowed for pserver method
I had to roll the fix back since it caused a regression, see Issue #143878. c8071affabc4
