I set up a cvs repository on my Suse 9.3 workstation.

I can connect to it from my Windows workstation, using Eclipse, using
extssh.

I can also connect to it with my Linux Eclipse locally ( localhost ) but
it doesn't let me use the pserver protocol.

Have you set up/configured the CVS password server?

I have a related question: Why is there no option for connecting to CVS
locally (without pserver)?
Due to this (and since pserver does not seem to work) I must use extssh
(despite being on the same network as CVS). That works from within Eclipse,
but I can't do manual CVS operations in the workspace (e.g. cvs update),
because it says:
cvs update: Unknown method (`extssh') in CVSROOT.
cvs [update aborted]: Bad CVSROOT:
`:extssh:liden@localhost:/carm/2_CVS'.
I can of course explicitly state the root (e.g. cvs -d /carm/2_CVS update)
but that is a nuisance. Any suggestions?

Hi there,

Here is a workaround to use CVS locally on the file system:

1 Write a little shell script to simply invoke 'cvs server'
file: cvs_server.sh
======================
#!/bin/sh
cvs server
======================

2 Make sure your file is executable:
(E.g. 'chmod +x cvs_server.sh')

3 In Eclipse go to:
Widows>Preferences>Team>CVS>Ext Connection Method
Enter full path of your script
(E.g. '/home/ziya/bin/cvs_server.sh')

You are ready to go! While adding a new CVS repository in
Eclipse make sure to choose:

1 Connection type 'ext'

2 Enter your repository path correctly (E.g. '/var/cvsroot')
and fill other mandatory fields with anything!

Hope it works for you too.

Cheers,

--Ziya

Thanks for the tip - that would work from within Eclipse.
But I guess Eclipse will still create something like
":ext:user@host:/cvs_repository" in all CVS/Root files, which is the cause
of my trouble. I would like Eclipse to have a local option that simply
creates "/cvs_repository" in the CVS/Root files.

Yes. You are right! I tried to set CVSROOT etc. but couldn't get around
that!
