[BorCVS-support] (no subject)

[Patrick D. <sof...@pd...>]

Ok I set up CVS_RSH=SSH.
For WinCVS I already have HOME=F:\SSH and PATH=%PATH%;F:\SSH

Then I call up cvs with
C:\>"F:\Program Files\GNU\WinCvs 1.2\cvs.exe" -d
:ext:pdu...@cv...:/cvsroot/dunfordsoft
checkout -P
autoexec

Which I have done by setting CVSROOT in BorCVS to
:ext:pdu...@cv...:/cvsroot/dunfordsoft

But the thing is, when WinCVS calls SSH it brings it up in a separate
command prompt window and asks for the password. You type your password into
the command prompt window and off it goes.

Whereas BorCVS brings up the password request in its own CVS output window
and won't receive input in this window.

WinCVS is able to separate the CVS output from input requests as far as SSH
goes, and works perfectly well with SSH.

By the way I am running BorCVS on Windows 95 on Delphi 5 standard - a
suitable enough platform for OSS development methinks.

How to make BorCVS work with SF.net CVS server? Hello!

Well, I did not try this yet. Maybe you can try to play with the "CVS
command" option in BorCVS to mimic WinCVS's commands and see if that
works?

BTW, what I think is missing from your CVSROOT string is the connection
method, which, in this case, should be "ext", I think. You also have to
set the environment variables to force CVS to use SSH as described in the
Cederqvist manual...
