[Savannah-help-public] checking out emacs

[Geoffrey Knauth]

RMS asked me to help with the relicensing of emacs.  I've having  
trouble checking it out.  Here's what RMS asked me to do:

What command(s) should I use?  I tried the following things, which  
did not work:

;;; Wed 11 Jul 2007

$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
$ cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/sources/emacs co .
Permission denied (publickey).
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above  
messages if any)
$ cvs -d:ext:address@hidden:/sources/emacs login
cvs login: can only use `login' command with the 'pserver' method
cvs [login aborted]: CVSROOT: :ext:address@hidden:/sources/ 
emacs

;;; Maybe I missed something above...

$ cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/emacs login
Logging in to :pserver:address@hidden:2401/sources/emacs
CVS password:
cvs login: authorization failed: server cvs.savannah.gnu.org rejected  
access to /sources/emacs for user gsk

;;; Thu 12 Jul 2007
;;; on advice from rms

$ cvs -z3 -d address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs/ co emacs
ssh: cvs.subversions.gnu.org: No address associated with nodename
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above
