Hi, as I could not find some webmaster contact address at the website at http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/ , I'm posting to this list. I like the idea of providing some information on how to checkout the CVS version of dillo, so people without CVS experience can try it out. However, the information about CVS given on http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/cvs.html is incomplete. The page give the command to to a checkout, but it neglects to mention that you first have to do a login with an empty password. I'd propose you change the page to read: Check out from our server at wearLab! Just run these two commands: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@auriga.wearlab.de:/sfhome/cvs/dillo co dillo When prompted for a password, just press Return. A new directory will be created with the current CVS version of dillo. Greetings and keep up the good work on Dillo! S.Leske PS: Please CC me on replies, I'm not subscribed.

For the project website (http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/) you're probably right here, for the auriga site (where the instructions were copied from, http://auriga.wearlab.de/cvs/?group_id=18), it would be something like admin@auriga.wearlab.de (which would be me).

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. 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.

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)

After some looking at CVS source, we found that it is indeed a new "feature" of newer CVS versions... I updated the Auriga CVS page with a note about logging in now. Greetings, Thorben Thuermer (r00t@wearlab.de)

The CVS page of the dillo site (<http://dillo.auriga.wearlab.de/cvs.html>) has been updated, too. Sebastian
