Today I was trying to check out from a CVS repo like this:
[1] oliver@foobar:~$ cvs -d :ext:oliver@cvs.domain.tld:/cvs/path-to-repo co module connect to address 172.16.1.1: Connection refused Trying krb4 rsh... connect to address 172.16.1.1: Connection refused trying normal rsh (/usr/bin/rsh) cvs [checkout aborted]: received interrupt signal
Unfortunately that meant I was unable to check out the code. First it looked like some name lookup issue, until I realized that the error points to the cvs program choosing rsh for the ext method. Setting CVS_RSH=ssh solved the problem …
// Oliver
Hey Oliver, the 90’s called and they want their concurrent versions system back!
Oh well. Best get back watching the latest episode of Miami Vice 🙂
Tss tss … how unfair a comment is that? As if I had a choice. At least there’s this neat overlaying of traditional VCS’ working copies with new modern DVCS repos, using that a lot …
Wait until 17th … I’ll find you somewhere in the crowd at Harpa, Mister! 🙂
