FYI, I still get:
~/CVS/duke/rpm-metadata/generate> cvs up
cvs update: warning: cannot write to history 
file /cvsroot/metadata/cvs-root/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied
P ChangeLog
cvs update: warning: cannot write to history 
file /cvsroot/metadata/cvs-root/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied
P genpkgmetadata.py
cvs update: warning: cannot write to history 
file /cvsroot/metadata/cvs-root/CVSROOT/history: Permission denied
P docs/createrepo.8
for every changed file in all duke CVS projects.
