Using cervisia

[JZA]

Hi I want to use cervesia for my cvs access for Openoffice.org. The OOo
CVS is a bit 'non-standard' they use ssh 2 tunneling before singing in the
cvs. For that matter I wantt o translate this commandlines into the GUI so
I can work with Cervesia.

So on the CLI I normally put something like this:

$ ssh -2 -x -i .ssh/jza -L 2401:localhost:2401 tunnel@...;

That will ask me for a passphrase to login the ssh.

The next thing is opening a new terminal for CVS:

$ cvs -d :pserver:jza@localhost:/cvs login

once I login I can do the different commits and stuff.

So I am triying to migrate from the CLI to the gui, and want to know how
if ssh 2 tunneling is supported and what should be the correct dialogs.

I've tried to configure it but so far it has failed, I added a repository
and is configured like the following:
- when I go to Repository > Repositories

Repository:   :pserver:jza@localhost:2401/cvs
Use Remote shell:  <empty>
Invoke this program on the server side: <empty>
Uncheck - use different compression level
Uncheck - Download cvsignore file from server


Unfortunately the Remot shell option is not editable so I am not sure if
this is just not a good setup and which would allow me to execute SSH -2
before stablishing the CVS Checkout.

Thanks for your help.

Wow, so you need two authentication methods. That is really strange.

Do you've some more information? Try to run it from console and/or
activate Cervisia's debug channels in kdebugdialog (part of kdebase).

Looks fine for me if the ssh tunnel is already open.

The remote shell option is for CVS's :ext: protocol. Cervisia itself
doesn't offer SSH tunneling but can use an existing tunnel.

Even if you're not able to add a repository,  to login or checkout from
Cervisia you can open a working copy and work with it. The needed
information is stored in subfolders of the working copy (CVS/Root in
every folder).


Cheers,
André
