Cvs

[stefanhendriks]

As some already know i am finding the best way to give my source away, but also to be able to work with multiple people on it. (Probably i will try this first, and later on i can always release the source, but i want it to be productive)

I have downloaded CVS and of course as a spoiled windows user i expected a nice UI. But probably i downloaded the wrong one? Or... it is really that blank and just exits at start.

After that i began reading the readme's (as all users ;) do in general ). Anyway, we need a CVS server in order to get this running.

Since we also have a POD source , JOE source (does use CVS already?) and later on perhaps a RACC source (not to mention very later on, we probably need a CVS thing for the United Bot) i suggest we get our own CVS server on.

If you are going to reply with "OMG WE ALREADY HAVE ONE" , then plz do not try to make fun of me ;) :D

Anyway, once things are up, i can experiment with this. But i truly want it with a GUI because text boxes suck hard in Windows.

OMG we already have one ! ATOMROFL !

Just kidding stefan, didnt mean to mak fun of you. but we do alrady have one running on this server ...

If you want a nice, graphical interface for cvs, download TortoiseCVS. Its a graphical UI for CVS.

If you want to connect to the cvs, well have to set some things up first.
Oh well, tell me waht u want :)

BTW, if you want to test, checkout the module ST151 from the cvs repository, thats my stupid university bullshit.

Wait Nova, we already have one ?

Since when ?

I didn't even know it :)

What do I need to be set up to use that thing ?

[stefanhendriks]

Lol, pmb did not know about it. A relief to me :D

anyway, if you could set up a RealBot 'project' and such, and provide me with the info i should use to login and work on it. I am able to test it.

I am going to look for a GUI CVS system later, i already saw some.

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

Stef, when you find some, notify me, I'm interested as well

[Terran]

HEY ! Its my job to promote Eclipse ! :)

*rofl*

eclipse is really good. i showed it to my uni lecturers, and they were so impressed that they are changing the labs at uni to linux using eclipse as an ide ...

[Austin]

Are you guys talking about
/www.eclipse.org
??

[sPlOrYgOn]

yea thats what they talking about

[Nova]

yea thats what they talking about
That is what we were talking about :)

Yes !

Oh and stefan, dont worry about the CVS server, i need to make it more secure first and so and, just wanted to let you know that were already working on it. Its giving me the shits at the moment, so if anyone is very familiar with CVSNT, please, i could use some help here :)

I could help with the original cvs but this is the first time I heard about CVSNT.

Just for curiosity, the CVSNT page has a wiki too: http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/ :D

Its not that much different from normal cvs.

But for some strange ass reason my inetd setup is not working (original cvs iwhtout ssl did)

this is my line in inetd.conf:
cvspserver stream tcp nowait cvs /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/bin/cvs cvs pserver

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

Is there a way to load the daemon outside of inetd perhaps ?

[Onno Kreuzinger]

yeah i will do it as xinetd type of service

[Terran]

Maybe you need to add the allowed CVS root to the command line, at least that was one of the problems I had:

cvspserver stream tcp nowait cvs /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/bin/cvs --allow-root=/var/cvs/cvsroot pserver

I assume you checked that the cvs server is running and answering CVS requests...

[Onno Kreuzinger]

well yes, it allways works localy, atleast almost allways, it just fails if used via ssh or ssl (cvsnt).

[stefanhendriks]

fyi, both Aspirin and i cannot login. I tried my username and also anonymous but both get the this:


CVSROOT=:sserver:stefan@bots-united.com:/home/cvsroot/filebase

cvs checkout: Empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password

cvs [checkout aborted]: /home/cvsroot/filebase: no such repository

waiting then and getting a passwd window, my passwd is rejected, although it's the right one, I reset it extra for this ...
