> > Fernando Cacciola's Optional library is accepted into Boost. > Excelent! ... if only I could put it on CVS! It's been two days I'm trying and I still can't find the way to add+commit the files... I've been reading docs and trying things but I just move from one error to another. I uploaded the final files to the FilesSection (optional.zip), so until I resolve the problem, I'll appreciate if someone updates the CVS :-) Here's a description of my configuration and attempts in case someone can help me (hint hint...) - Windows98 - cvs95.exe version: 1.11.4 - WinCVS.exe version: 1.3.8.1 Beta 8 Build 1 - PuTTY 0.53b * I have checked out boost this morning on a local working directory using pserver (user) access. * I have generated and uploaded SSH2 Authentification keys. * I have copied the optional files to my local repository (CVS HOME) ---------- Attempt 1: ========== If I run putty.exe with pageant running with the key loaded, and configured as: Host Name: cvs.boost.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost Protocol: SSH2 (Port 22) Autologin: fcacciola (which is my SourceForge User ID) and click on 'Open', I'm asked for the password. If I enter my SourceForge account password, I get a message saying something like: "welcome to SurceForge.net. This is a restricted shell. You cannot execute anything here." And the conncetion is automatically closed. So PuTTY is a dead end... ---------- Attempt 2: ========== If I run WinCVS configured as: Authentication: ssh [ with settings for: "plink.exe (or putty.exe) -v -ssh -i<keyfile>" or "plink.exe (or putty.exe) -v -ssh -l fcacciola -pw <my-password>" ] Path: /cvsroot/boost Host Address: cvs.boost.sourceforge.net User Name: fcacciola CVSROOT: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/boost I Select optional.hpp and choose 'Add selection', then I get: NEW CVSROOT: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/boost (ssh authentication) cvs add optional.hpp (in directory C:\Libraries\boost\Repository\boost\boost\) cvs95 add: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password cvs95 [add aborted]: Error reading from server cvs.boost.sourceforge.net: 0 Sometimes I get: cvs [server aborted]: "add" requires write access to the repository instead of "Error reading from ..." ---------------- Attempt 3: ========== In a DOS box: plink.exe cvs.boost.sourceforge.net -l fcacciola -pw <pass> cvs -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/boost -z3 add optional.hpp after a few seconds I'm stuck there: there is no output but plink.exe keeps running... --------- Any help greatly appreciated!
