Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] security suggestions for publish.php

[Jim Hu <ji...@ta...>]

I'm barely competent in it myself, but the key things are:

1. Set up your terminal environment for ssh key generation:

For tcsh

	setenv CVS_RSH ssh

for bash:

	export CVS_RSH=ssh

2. Make a key (this step only has to be done the first time you use  
the CVS)

	ssh-keygen -t dsa -C "USE...@sh..."

Then go to your Sourceforge account and add your key to your user  
profile.  Wait a bit for the change to propagate through the system

3. To checkout the latest phpicalendar, after cd to the desired  
directory

	cvs -z3 -d:ext:USE...@ph...:/cvsroot/ 
phpicalendar co -P phpicalendar

4. To save changes in a file

	cvs -z3 -d:ext:USE...@ph...:/cvsroot/ 
phpicalendar commit -m "COMMENT DESCRIBING THE UPDATE."

I forget how to add a file; I think it's add to the local copy and  
then commit as above.  My usual blunder is to save too many changes  
to the local copy before committing.  Also I tend to forget to update  
the README to describe bug fixes.  I think that should do it.  If I  
can do the CVS, anyone can... I don't even know how to apply patches  
using diff!
