CVS

unix computer, not my call.
I want to connect to with from Windows computer vi cygwin, WinCVS...
This works
I also want to connect from Uninx(FreeBSD) to it with gcvs, cvs vi.
As I understand it, as of 1.10 or about, they broke parsing of the
command line
so
:pserver:user@host:d:/cvsroot
doesn't work on the unix clients.
I've heard that you need to downgrade to a release before this.
FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE ships with 1.11.1p1-FreeBSD (client/server)
Current is 1.11.2
I've never in my life spread across the last 5 years sucessfully
compiled cvs on FreeBSD.
The binary packages are too var ahead. aka /stand/sysinstall
As are the ports.
The relavent line src/root.c:501 is where the port gets parsed in recent
versions,
one would think I could
cd /usr/src/contrib/cvs/src
edit it
cd ../
make
make install
but no, there is no Makefile there. Short of doing a full buildworld,
since I just did that to get from 4.6->4.7
how can I just do it for cvs.
I've got the expertise to fix the file my self.
Thanks for your help.
Damn this is annoying.

I think the Makefile you're looking for is in:
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/

I recently set up CVS 'pserver' service under Linux-2.4.* for WinCvs and
*nix cvs users. Circa early summer, the NT cvs server notes mentioned
problems dealing with MsWin clients, but not *nix.

I noticed some differences between *nix and MsWin clients handling
explicit root definitions but nothing I saw as an outright failure or
breakage. (IIRC, I had to put _something_ in the password field, even for
a no-password user -- in a DOS script for example -- or get the password
prompt.) *nix clients all worked fine, but this wasn't the MsWin server
(the name of which I forget).

http://www.cvsnt.org/ perhaps?

If you cc me or take the list(s) out completely I'll most likely
ignore your message.

Yes, that looks right. At that time the server was considered [fairly]
stable, but there were some cautious notes about its working to _MsWin_
clients (not *nix). Sorry for the FUD on that.
