[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.

Rich,

If you read the fine print, there are a couple of steps you can skip
depending on what your configuration is.  Hopefully, it will work
and it'll be worth the effort.

Mine took quite a bit originally.  I still have to type my password
in.  I've waited the 6 hours time and again!  Someday I'll get that
dang cypher uploaded correctly!  Anyway, the password works,
so I just type it in instead.

I cannot express in words how amazed I am that this worked. I checked, =
via the web, and sure enough the "commit" that I made was in fact =
reflected on the latest sourceforge file, with a ripe old age of 91 =
seconds, and my comments shown in the log. Dale, the WinCVS document was =
the key. . .I guess that now I need to start studying up on the finer =
points of CVS. Perhaps printing the approximately 168 pages of the CVS =
manual would be appropriate! The WinCVS Daily Use Guide is a bit =
shorter, so maybe that will do. Thanks again for the help!

John, is your WinCVS working yet? If you need some questions answered =
about the configuration, let me know!
