[Ts2k-interface-developers] WinCVS: Accessing the CVS repository

[Dale E. E. <de...@w-...>]

John/Rich:

I followed the Doc link on the Sourceforge main page.  It indicates that

PuTTY (a ssh type client) may also be required.

One of these pointers should get you to this document:
    https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=766&group_id=1
    Sourceforge WinCVS info

I made a change to gui/Tests immediately after a phone discussion
with John.  I am pretty much convinced that the 'ssh' method is
not being used.  PuTTY will make that method available for shell
login and for WinCVS too (I believe, but your mileage may vary).

The ssh suite is a required part of CVS.  Nobody can obtain write
access to any of the sourceforge sites without ssh.  (There is one
exception when uploading a file release via ftp.  This is done via
anonymous ftp.  But, this has nothing  to do with CVS and doing
concurrent development.)  ssh (PuTTY) will also allow you to
login to your shell (5Mb restriction) account at sourceforge and
cd to our project page where the Web page (htdocs/index.html)
may be changed.  (The pserver method is always read-only.
the ext method must be instructed to use some variant of ssh.
This should result in immediate write access when you perform
a commit after changing files you checked out using ext method.)

Let me know if there are any successes/failures that I may be
able to help with.
