I just set up CVS on my local machine. But now I need to clean it up and bring it up to a point of the raw CVS installation. I tried searching for "uninstall cvs on ubuntu" but did n't find any luck.

Can anyone share his/her views on how to proceed this?

Just in case some one bumps into this post, I just marked cvs for complete removal from the Synaptic Package Manager and deleted the /var/lib/cvs folder. No issues so far.

This is a crude way of cleaning the CVS. A better approach which I found is setting up another cvs repository using the same cvs server installation like this:

cvs -d /your/new/cvs/repo init

Then you can selectively move projects from the old repository to the new one.

Hope this helps.
