Follow-up Comment #1, sr #723 (project savane): Additional note: The savane-doc PDF does briefly explain what cvssh is, but it would be helpful is users were told where to get it. It took me quite some time to find a *n*x version of this (the commonly available one that is the subject of most Google hits on the topic appears to be Windows software written in Python, and isn't a unix shell, but some kind of interface to CVS pserver). Same goes for one I found described as: ********** About: ccvssh is an external program called by cvs (via the :ext: method) which connects to remote CVS pservers through SSL tunnels. It is a reimplementation of cvssh in C, and is fast and easy to use. **********
I did finally find one, in a small collection called "Shells" available here: http://www.excessus.demon.co.uk/misc-hacks/ But it doesn't seem to work right - when I attempt to use it, it just says: ********** To use the CVS server, set your `CVSROOT' environment variable to [EMAIL PROTECTED]', and use the `cvs checkout' and `cvs update' commands. See the manual for more information on how to use CVS. ********** and then I'm back in my regular shell. If you're aware of one that does work out-of-the-box and where to get it, please let us know! Or better yet, if it is GPL, just include it in the Savane distribution. The savane-doc is further confusing in that it suggests that people should use a shell called `sv_membersh` but there is no indication what `sv_membersh` is and does, what its limitations are, etc. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/support/?func=detailitem&item_id=723> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/
