[Cpptool-develop] Please Help .. I get no write access

[Andre B. <and...@gm...>]

Dear Baptiste, dear Sven,

I'm going nuts - this cvs thing drives me crazy - a short description on 
the things tried:

I was reading the sourceforge help pages, and saw that I need ssh to get 
write access to the cvs.
Well, yesterday in the evening I set up my (privat-key, public-key) pair 
and send the public key to
my sourceforge profile.
I also found a project that sets up WinCVS to work for sourceforge 
projects with ssh (don't rember
the project name). I did run this and now WinCVS does report me the 
following:

CVSROOT: net...@cv...:/cvsroot/cpptool (ssh 
authentication)
TCL is available, shell is enabled : help (select and press enter)
cvs -z9 add ForStatementParserTest.h (in directory 
D:\Projects\Cpptool\rfta\src\rftaparser\)
cvs [server aborted]: "add" requires write access to the repository

well, I don't know if ssh really works since I have no chance to test it.
Does anybody of you know what I can try to find out what the problem is ?
I will try to continue reading sourceforge pages, but any help will be 
usefull.

well, just the first open source project a take part ;-)

Well, it seems to be a problem with wincvs, since if I'm using ssh then 
I get access:
==================================================
ssh.exe -v "cvs.cpptool.sourceforge.net" "-i" "privat-key.PPK" "-l" 
"netmemberab" "cvs server"
SSH Version 1.2.14 [winnt-4.0-x86], protocol version 1.4.

Enter passphrase for RSA key 'rsa-key-20021219':
Sending response to host key RSA challenge.
Remote: RSA authentication accepted.
RSA authentication accepted by server.
Sending command: cvs server
Entering interactive session.
====================================================
Well, that's it ... it works, but WinCVS simply hangs !
And for all later comming in developers, read this:

 If you previously used WinCvs to checkout your repository using 
anonymous pserver-based access, you should checkout a fresh working copy 
of your repository at this time. You will not be able to perform commit 
operations against old pserver-generated CVS working copies; write 
access errors will result (move any modified files from your old working 
copy to your new working copy, in order to commit them).
=====================================================
But well I tried to check our newly and the openssh.exe client opens a 
console and
does nothing when it's called by WinCVS
I'm trying now putty.

Yes, I got it work with putty ...
However I found also some infos on project restructuring:

Great ! I never managed to get the ssh key pair working. I guess I'll a try
to Putty (using open-ssh at the current time).

This is done by moving or renaming the RCS file in the CVS repository. What
it not precised is that you lost the ability to restore any previous version
of the software.

Well I don't know about complete restructuring, but moving files 
together with old version is possible
as I understood the text. Isn't it ?

As they say at Radio Yerevan: In principle, yes. In practice it is not
very advisable, because you can easily mess up the repository, and make
the whole CVS tree unusable.

You keep the history of the file, but when restoring an old version, the
filename is the new filename. Meaning that a .cpp including a header which
was renamed that way won't be able to compile in revision previous to the
date of the renaming.

Stuff like this may work when you are just using CVS as a smart backup
system, but is really unsafe. When renaming file on sourceforge, just to a
remove/add and add a hint in the log about the renaming.

By the way, I'm currently trying to set up automatic e-mail notification on
CVS commit (going throught the syncmail procedure of SF documentation. The
doc has greatly improved since I last visited it).
