RE: Getting wincvs version WinCvs13b20-3.exe working on Windows xp toLinux cvs server

[Arthur Barrett]

Willy,

This is not the correct group to ask questions about WinCVS.  The WinCVS 
message archives are accessible at
http://groups.yahoo.com/messages/cvsgui. 

There's also a newsgroup mirror at 
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsgui

WinCVS is designed to use the CVSNT client.  CVSNT server is free (GPL just 
like CVS) and runs on Linux as well as Windows, Unix, Mac OS X etc.

The CVSNT client has an in-built sserver protocol that uses it's own inbuilt 
putty so you dont need to do all that fiddling...

For information on the sserver protocol and configuring the cvsnt client to 
talk to a cvs or cvsnt server please ask the CVSNT newsgroup:
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt
or
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt

Regards,


Arthur Barrett

toLinux cvs server 

Hi,
I'm new in cvs and struggle to get wincvs working on my Windows xp
workstation.
I have plink from Putty working with ssh

If I enter:
c:\plink cvssession
Then I get my ssh connection without entering a name nor a password.

The cvs server is on a Linux machine (SUSE 9.1)
I can't find any good documetation for wincvs I must be very close to a
solution but the problem must be in wincvs.
On the Linux machine my cvs root is :

CVSROOT=/home/cvsroot
CVS_RSH=ssh

public key is on the Linux machine in .ssh/authorized_keys file
this file is set as
chmod 600

private key is on the Window machine and the location is known by plink and
putty

The ssh mechanisme work as I can make the connection with plink from putty.

Can somone show me what to fill in in the wincvs screens ?

Thanks in advance,

Willy Verbiest
