I am trying to make use of freepository.com's free CVS features... but
they do not use pserver or ext but something called sserver. Here is
what they say to do:
Setting your local CVSROOT
Open the email freepository just sent you. It contains the CVSROOT
string to use for secure remote command-line access to your
freepository. For this example, we'll assume that my User ID is
'jbminn' and my freepository is located at /fp1/ABCD1234567. Of course,
this is a fictitiuous freepository, so don't waste your time tring to
get to it. Set it using the normal technique, for example:
export
CVSROOT=:sserver:address@hidden:3001/fp1/ABCD1234567
And here is what I did:
~/wares/cvs-1.11.9/src $ cvs -v

:sserver:address@hidden:3725/mnt/usbhd/fp/fp1/59E.2H9vIP6fMdbix-recordset
import -m 'imported sources' vendor_ecos start
cvs import: Unknown method (`sserver') in CVSROOT.
cvs [import aborted]: Bad CVSROOT:
`:sserver:address@hidden:3725/mnt/usbhd/fp/fp1/59E.2H9vIP6fMdbix-recordset'.
~/wares/cvs-1.11.9/src $
How do I get his cvs mode to work? Thanks!
I am running under cygwin if it makes any difference
