[David] > No, please, drop us all a line online! OK - here it is, for what it is worth. You will notice that I spent the time to research my facts carefully before giving out this information (NOT!) Sure. It is a bit of a PITA (surprise, surprise, surprise): First, get the latest WinCVS. Has some nice new features. Mine shows as 1.1b13. It has a slightly slicker more windowsy look than the older one. What we really want is the version with the Options/Preferences dialog that allows you to supply the RAS identity file when you select SSH Server as the auth method. Previous versions allow you to select the SSH Server, but give you nowhere to put the identity file. Hence previous versions used a batch file wrapper, which you probably saw reference to. This version makes it much simpler. I use the standard SSH Version 1.2.14 binary set. I cant recall the URL, but it is quite small and only a few binary files. ssh shows usage - ssh -v shows versbose usage, verbose in this context apparently means showing the version number (took me ages to work that one out :-) There were only a few files, so I just dumped them all in the same directory as the CVS binaries. You then need to make a key file - I cant recall the exact process, but it is pretty simple. This is creating the identify file you specify to WinCVS, as well as the public key you upload to source-force. NOTE - from memory, you MUST have a HOME env var set, and you MUST have a .ssh directory under your home. Otherwise you get cryptic errors from SSH that give no clue that this is the problem. After uploading the public key to source forge, you are nearly set. The last step is convinving CVS that you want to use this new SSH setting, and not the setting CVS so kindly persists in its CVS\Root files. The only way I found to do this was to either edit the Root files manually, or remove the directories locally and force CVS to re-create them (and thereby re-pull everything - I assume you have ADSL in that hotel room :-) Alternatively, dig up that CVS script posted to py-dev recently and change it - personally, I never trusted it :-) All my root files look like: :ext:mhammond@cvs.python.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/python Yours almost certainly will be setup for anon access, not using ssh. Hope that makes sense. Im happy to chase anything else up I can for you... Mark.
