CVS - Windows
Anonymous Read-Only | Read/Write | U.C. Berkeley Access

The following instructions are intended for WinCVS 1.2.



Anonymous Read-Only CVS Access
To get a current copy of the Mash source code using anonymous, read-only CVS access:

  1. To specify the CVS repository, use the WinCvs Preferences dialog box (the Preferences command from the Admin menu). For the CVSROOT, enter "anonymous@cvs.openmash.org:/usr/mash/src/repository". For the Authentication setting, choose "passwd file on the cvs server".

  2. To check out a copy of the Mash source code, choose the Checkout module command from the Create menu. For the module name, enter "mash-code". Choose a local folder where you want to save the source code on your computer.



Read/Write CVS Access
To obtain read/write CVS access, please fill out the CVS account request form. We gladly welcome anyone who wants to help us work on Mash.

To get a current copy of the Mash source code using your Open Mash CVS account:

  1. To specify the CVS repository, use the WinCvs Preferences dialog box (the Preferences command from the Admin menu). For the CVSROOT, enter "username@cvs.openmash.org:/usr/mash/src/repository". For the Authentication setting, choose "passwd file on the cvs server".

  2. To log into the CVS server, choose the Login command from the Admin menu. Enter your password.

  3. To check out a copy of the Mash source code, choose the Checkout module command from the Create menu. For the module name, enter "mash-code". Choose a local folder where you want to save the source code on your computer.



U.C. Berkeley CVS Access
You need to install a Windows SSH client before you can access the CVS repository with your BMRC account. We recommend Gordon Chaffee's command-line port of ssh. Most links to the actual ssh-1.2.14-win32bin.zip file are broken, so we've tracked down a working ftp site for you.

See section 1 of the SSH with WinCVS webpage for instructions on installing Gordon Chaffee's ssh. Using an identity.pub key is optional.

(Don't bother trying F-Secure SSH. It doesn't work with WinCVS.)

To get a current copy of the Mash source code using your BMRC account:

  1. To specify the CVS repository, use the WinCvs Preferences dialog box (the Preferences command from the Admin menu). For the CVSROOT, enter "username@cvs.openmash.org:/usr/mash/src/repository". For the Authentication setting, choose "SSH server".

  2. To check out a copy of the Mash source code, choose the Checkout module command from the Create menu. For the module name, enter "mash-code". Choose a local folder where you want to save the source code on your computer.

  3. If you are not using an identity.pub key, you'll need to enter a password. An MS-DOS ssh window will appear. The window may be in the background and it may or may not display a password prompt. Enter your password in this window. If you are using an identity.pub key, you won't need to enter a password.
