Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Can't get cvs from SourceForge

Collapse
Posted by Gregory McMullan on

I have two additional comments. One is an addition to Brent's response, and one is the result of some annoyances that I had with Sourceforge's stuff when I went from anonymous to developer access.

First, remember to use "acs-pg" in place of "modulename" in the command:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.acs-pg.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/acs-pg co modulename

Second, when you get developer access to the CVS tree, you will need to remove the line with "anonymous@cvs.acs-pg.sourceforge.net" from your ~/.cvspass file, and resign yourself to typing your developer password with every action that you do. I submitted a bug report to sourceforge about this, got unhelpful responses from the sourceforge people, and had it closed with incorrect "solution" information, even after I posted the solution I got by finding someone else with the same problem.
