I just updated Slime from CVS and ... it did not install the CONTRIB branch.

Did you ask it to install the contrib branch? If not, why would you expect it to do so?

Oh, yes, the contrib directory is there but it just contains a CVS directory and no files.

This is because of a design feature in CVS, which does not allow branches to have independent directories: if a directory is present in a branch, it must be present in all branches, including the HEAD branch.

Using CVS commands manually I was not able to download any slime-fuzzy.* files ...

"cvs update -rcontrib" will request the contrib branch.

Could you please restore the old structure that made it simple and easy to use/update/install SLIME ?! Thx!

The code that you have obtained _is_ the old structure; it seems to me that you have confused yourself. Best, Christophe
