Maybe you're reading too much into the two lines that I wrote (apart from the output of the commands). The mail wasn't meant to be negative (but maybe it sounded negative because it wasn't more verbose).Excuse me. I can't help but notice a negative tone in your reply. Maybe I am mistaken. Please clarify:
You say that a line from the docs "didn't work for you", and a couple of lines later you suggest that the docs need to be updated. But as long as we don't know what "didn't work for me" actually implied (what kind of errors did you get), nobody for whom it is working already would know what the docs might have to be changed to.From the CVS help page:
http://www.leaf-project.org/doc/guide/buc-buildtool.html
This line didn't work for me: cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/leaf login
"didn't work for me" is pretty hard to debug for anyone but you.
What is this supposed to mean?
What happened after you entered that command? You may not be trying to debug anything, but if I'm supposed to update the docs, I'll surely have to.I wasn't trying to debug anything, or even imply that I was debugging. The command: "cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/leaf login" did not work for me on the three or four occasions that I tried it.
Absolutely - but at the same time, the fact that it works for me and other people also suggests that the docs aren't plain wrong. And to be able to figure out how to change the docs, I'd need a little more info, to find something that works for everybody.The fact that it works for you does not mean it will work for everyonePerhaps the docs need updating?
I doubt it, since it works just fine here: (...)
else.
I'm sure there are somewhere, but I didn't write them. I did write that part of the buildtool docs, and I would gladly update it, if you give me anything to work with. "Doesn't work for me" without anything else may well be a true statement (in your environment), but it doesn't help the ones who are responsible for keeping the docs up to date.Something is causing a problem for at least two of us. I was able to overcome this problem. I thought I might be able to help. Apparently, my assistance did not measure up to your standards. Or if there is something inherently wrong in my reply, please let me know what the guidelines are for posting.
