Hi all, I'm trying to access a CVS repository on my Cygwin on Windows XP, using :ext: protocol with SSH but I keep running into problems. It seems that there is a bug that prevents CVS to run properly in an SSH shell, or some of my environment is really messed up. The following command sequence (within cygwin shell) better describes my problem: ---------------------------------------- First I create a simple CVS repository, and try to check out the CVSROOT. It works locally. ----------------------------------------
$ mkdir ~/cvs $ cvs -d /home/fytos/cvs/ init $ cd /tmp $ cvs -d /home/fytos/cvs/ checkout CVSROOT cvs checkout: Updating CVSROOT U CVSROOT/checkoutlist U CVSROOT/commitinfo U CVSROOT/config U CVSROOT/cvswrappers U CVSROOT/editinfo U CVSROOT/loginfo U CVSROOT/modules U CVSROOT/notify U CVSROOT/rcsinfo U CVSROOT/taginfo U CVSROOT/verifymsg ---------------------------------------- Now, I want to do the same thing, but inside an SSH shell. CVS cannot find the repository and aborts. ---------------------------------------- $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] "cvs -d /home/fytos/cvs checkout CVSROOT" [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: cvs [checkout aborted]: /home/fytos/cvs/CVSROOT: No such file or directory ---------------------------------------- Because of the above, the following command also doesn't work. This is my main complaint... ---------------------------------------- $ export CVSROOT=:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/fytos/cvs $ cvs checkout CVSROOT [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: cvs [server aborted]: /home/fytos/cvs: no such repository ---------------------------------------- Following are the versions of involved programs. Please post the relevant commands if more info is required to further investigate this. ---------------------------------------- $ uname CYGWIN_NT-5.1 $ ssh -v OpenSSH_3.6.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090702f $ cvs -v Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.5 (client/server) ---------------------------------------- Thank you very much in advance. Any response will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Neophytos Neophytou __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
