[rancid] Device removal not showing up in the Attic

[Eric Cables]

This is in regards to device removal while retaining the device's
configuration, and revision history, for historical purposes in the CVS
Attic. In the past I've simply removed retired devices from their
respective router.db, and they automatically migrated to the Attic.
Unfortunately I've noticed that recent removals from router.db are not
showing up in the Attic, and the configurations are nowhere to be found.

I am using CVS and RANCID 2.3.2a8.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

if its removed from router.db, it should be cvs deleted and the file
will be removed from the local "checkout" and moved in the repository
from ~ /var/rancid/CVS/group/configs/hostname,v to
/var/rancid/CVS/group/configs/Attic/hostname,v

i suspect you're confusing the repository and the local "checkout" or
youre using some web interface that isnt showing the attic.
