While finding my way to csv through ssh, I've noted some remarks.
Some things were hard to find out for me. Just because it was rather new to
me, and links to more info, often point to huge amount of text, with so many
details ;-)
OK, my suggestions...
It is about http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddSSHGuide.html#tunneling
- Step 3. Tunneling
- Pointing CVSROOT to Your Localhost
Holds no explanation. I would suggest:
"export CVSROOT=:pserver:[your openoffice.org userna...@localhost:/cvs
where /cvs is the location on your computer with the ssh key.
Nope, this is wrong. /cvs is not the location with the ssh key, it
just says that this is the cvs-server's main-directory, this has
nothing to do with local directories.
Ok, so the part "where /cvs is .." must be skipped.
(since the request to localhost is tunneled to the OOo-Server)
- Step 5. What now?
- How to use CVS with a tunnel: Basics
[....]
1. Establish a tunnel. If it works, you will be asked for your
passphrase (not password, a sign of failure)
for your key's passphrase, not for tunnel's password, yes.
2. Open new shell
3. Set cvsroot:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:[your openoffice.org userna...@localhost:/cvs
you only need to do this for the first time you do a checkout/login,
for subsequent operations this is read from the CVS directory of the
checkout.
Was not clear for me. But than that has to be indicated as well.
4. Initiate the CVS connection.
cvs login
when you did not set the cvsroot, you have to use
cvs -d :pserver:[your openoffice.org userna...@localhost:/cvs login
Wouldn't label it "initiate", just Login with your login (the same
password used to login to the OOo website)
The password will be stored by cvs, so you only have do this once (~/.cvspass)
The word "initiate" is currently at the website. But I don't object
something different.
5. The regular set of CVS commands obtains.
so you end with cvs logout.
You usually don't do an explicit cvs logout. That would only be
necessary if you want to use different user-accounts on the same
server, so it is not necessary for OOo.
you just terminate the tunnel
So maybe that could be added as well?
Thanks for your further info, explanation. Can you or someone else add
the improvements on the page?
Best wishes,
Cor
