export CVS repository

Question

Hi,

how to export a CVS repository from one machine to another? Would it work if i transfer the whole CVSROOT then make it the CVSROOT of the new machine? if so, would it also include all the revision history? or there are additional directories need to be exported...

Thanks in advance

Here's a good step by step guide: http://www.solarorange.com/docs/cvs/repositorymove.html It looks like you just zip it up.
