Anonymous read-only checkout

Write attempt as anonymous : wrong ;)

Using bad syntax with adding a two-levels directory specification :
wrong ;)

Now, you found the solution (see below) by yourself.

Use "export CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/webcvs" at
first time (before a checkout).

Then afterwards, if you're in an already checkout-out directory, just
use "cvs update" for instance, without -d or CVSROOT, and it'll work.


Then, you said :

Nope : you're using anoncvs over pserver, and the only things you can do
are checkouts or updates...

To add, remove or commit, you need SSH (CVS_RSH=ssh) and your account
username instead of anoncvs...

Refer to the project's savannah CVS page which explains these settings.

I suggest that you check some docs about CVS (see IDEALX.org which holds
some ;) and/or the docs about CVS/SSH on sourceforge (singe savannah's
docs are a bit light ;).

Tell me if you experience more difficulties.
