[kepler-dev] [Ptolemy] Ptolemy CVS Repository moving

[Christopher Brooks]

I think the problem is with your account, I'll take a look later
tonight.

Matt Jones is having a similar problem with his account.

I'm able to check out a tree using Eclipse with extssh, but I
have a different account than you and Matt.

Last I looked, Eclipse's ext did not support ssh v2.

At this point, there is pressure to not allow machines on the net that
support ssh v1 because of security problems with v1.

I agree that the Cygwin/Eclipse ext/extssh is a problem.  Perhaps
there is a way for Eclipse ext to support ssh v2?  

I'll look in to this further.

    extssh does not work either. The same error message appears.

    I used to configure the CVS repositories to use extssh connection type. The
    
    problem is that extssh is not supported under Cygwin. Therefore, I can not 
    do cvs update if the project is checked out using extssh. I prefer using ex
   t 
    so that I can use either Cygwin, or Eclipse, or TortoiseCVS to manage the 
    same file system.
    
    The solution I found is to configure the connection type as ext but in 
    windows->preferences->Team->CVS->Ext Connection Method, choosing extssh as 
    the connection type.

    Here is what I got:
    hyzheng at DOPLAP10 /cygdrive/c/hyzheng
    $ ssh source.eecs.berkeley.edu cvs -v
    Password:
    rksh: cvs:  not found
    
    After I login in source.eecs.berkeley.edu, I got:
    hyzheng at DOPLAP10 /cygdrive/c/hyzheng
    $ ssh source.eecs.berkeley.edu
