From Mandriva Community Wiki
A guide to using Mandriva's CVS repository. Please note that the CVS repository has been deprecated in favor of SVN. You should only use the CVS repository to access things that have not yet been migrated to SVN. No new commits should be made to CVS; if you wish to modify something you should first import it to SVN.

[edit] Using a passwordless cvs connection
If you have cvs write access ( by having asked for a good reason to <cvs at mandriva.com> ), you can use an ssh connection to not type your password each time you do diff or a checkout.
To add your ssh identity, to your account on cvs.mandriva.com, you have to use the following command:
ssh <your_login>@cvs.mandriva.com update-ssh-key < <your public key>
Then you can use your account without password for example to checkout the po module like this:
cvs -d <your_login>@cvs.mandriva.com:/cooker co po
And if you need to change your password on the cvs server, use (don't forget the -t):
ssh -t <your_login>@cvs.mandriva.com passwd
