Since we are collecting all sorts of information in CONTRIBUTE,
and we want to keep INSTALL.CVS about just building emacs from CVS,
we should move the following info from INSTALL.CVS to CONTRIBUTE:
[we had a corrupt checkin just yesterday due to one maintainer not
being aware of this glitch, so the "have ... rumored to" part should
be "are ... known to"].
Note on using SSH to access the CVS repository from inside Emacs
----------------------------------------------------------------
Write access to the CVS repository requires using SSH v2.
If you execute cvs commands inside Emacs, specifically if you use
pcl-cvs, output from CVS may be lost due to a problem in the
interface between ssh, cvs, and libc. Corrupted checkins have
also been rumored to have happened.
To fix the problem, save the following script into a file, make it
executable, and set CVS_RSH to the file name of the script:
#!/bin/bash
exec 2> >(exec cat >&2 2>/dev/null)
exec ssh "$@"
This may be combined with the following entry in ~/.ssh/config to
simplify accessing the CVS repository:
Host subversions.gnu.org
Protocol 2
ForwardX11 no
User YOUR_USERID
