Ethereal-dev: using anoncvs via ssh was RE: [ethereal-dev] How to submit withou t cvs
Howdy
I just helped Stuart to get him up to speed with ethereal source via
anoncvs using ssh. I didn't see any instructions for this method on the web
page so i thought i'd post my quick and dirty one's so someone could
incorporate them on the web pages.
This is for folks behind a firewall that won't allow pserver
connections through.

Ah, there is a method called anoncvs that was developed by the OpenBSD crew
for cvs updates. In fact the ethereal people setup anoncvs pretty much just
for me, 'cause you'll see that there is no mention of this on the ethereal
home page.
( for more info on anoncvs goto http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html )
you have ssh, correct?
you have ssh setup to use non-privileged ports, if your firewall people are
paranoid enough, otherwise forget i even mentioned it
depending on your shell you are using set the variable
"CVSROOT=anoncvs@xxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot"
at shell prompt at the directory above where you want ethereal to reside:
"cvs -t get -PA ethereal"
you should get prompted with:
The authenticity of host 'pow.zing.org' can't be established.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
go ahead and enter "yes"
( from this point on you should never get asked this question )
voila
it should start checking out the ethereal source code
after that to update the code to -current
from the ethereal source code directory
(don't forget to set that CVSROOT variable)
at the shell: "cvs -t up"
hope this make sense
BTW, i just ran through this again 'cause i wanted to try a new feature out
available only to -current.
have fun

Ug. Sorry about the blank message prior to this. I hit the deliver instead
of "insert text" button on ML. sheesh.
Anyway, just to prove I am _completely_ clueless, how would one get ssh
access to the cvs site? I thought ssh required a logon of some sort.
Feel free to toss me in the direction of any doco on it!
Once again, sorry for the empty email.
On the side of the software box, in the "System | Stuart Stanley
