Hi, * Thorben Thuermer <r00t@informatik.uni-bremen.de> [2003-02-13 16:56]:
Auriga is not sourceforge. when setting up our cvs repositories, we found that it is possible to have anoncvs WITHOUT login, and it seemed a very good idea to use that, because the additional login step only confuses users.
a very good idea. I was confused by it initially, too.
just as the dillo homepage says, you 'Just:'
just to show that the password was not read from there: user@host[/tmp]$ mv ~/.cvspass ~/.cvspass_bak
user@host[/tmp]$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo co dillo cvs checkout: failed to open /home/user/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory cvs server: Updating dillo U dillo/AUTHORS U dillo/COPYING
without login.
are you SURE you need login for it to work? we haven't heard of any problems with this before.
Well, if I do the above, I get: $ > cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo co dillo cvs checkout: could not open /ext/number/leske/.cvspass: No such file or directory cvs [checkout aborted]: use "cvs login" to log in first $ > cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo login (Logging in to anonymous@cvs.auriga.wearlab.de) CVS password: $ > cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo co dillo cvs server: Updating dillo U dillo/AUTHORS U dillo/COPYING U dillo/ChangeLog U dillo/ChangeLog.old So I do need to login first. That's with CVS version 1.10.7 , on SuSE7.0 . On a different system, the "checkout without login" works, that's with CVS version 1.11.1p1 . Maybe the "checkout without login" only works in later releases of CVS? (I didn't find anything in the NEWS file, though)
