    cvsmonitor no longer can monitor our cvs repository in savannah, as they no longer accept pserver log in, but require ext.
    We have changed the CVS_RSH environment variable to ssh,  and used as CVSROOT
    :ext:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/gnumed
    but log in still fails.
    Has anyone overcome this? Where do the cvsmonitor logs live usually. I can't seem to access them for failed connects.
    Thanks,
    Tony Lembke

      The logs are really pretty crap...

      I have some better logging code lying around in a different project, but I haven't had the time to upgrade it to the better version.

      How's your perl? :)

      As for :ext support, it's really not that far away now that 0.6.3 has much better abstracted backends.

      What would help a lot is access to such a repository, or someone to document in depth all the elements required to do :ext, including any environment variables etc, and get me access to a repository.

      Essentially

      1. Know if the OS is capable of it
      2. Know what to set to make it work
      3. Do the actual thing

      Given 1. and 2., 3. is I would think not too difficult.
