How to pass CVSROOT to Cervisia?

[zakmck]

Hi all,

I have a previously checked-out module, but the the user who did the
checkout is not me, let's say is 'you'. When I try to update with
Cervisia, it calls cvs without further options, so the repository
address is read from CVS/Root in the sandbox (and is, for instance
you@host:/home/cvs). Now, I haven't the 'you' password, so I cannot
proceed. what I would like to do is to find a way to make Cervisia call
this:

   cvs -d :ext:me@host:/home/cvs update ...

But I cannot find how.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Marco.

Looking at the source code, I'd say, this is unfortunately not possible at the
moment. You need a separate checkout with your user account.

Bye, Christian

Thank you Christian. So it seems the only workaround is to reconfigure
the CVS executable, using some cvs.sh wrapper that does what I want.

Cheers.
