Alex - the problem here is simply that having lost CVS via SF last year, and then not being able to get onto the replacement. *I* just switched off and started using the tar files. I will have to look again for CIA but nothing is documented from the wiki pages I have worked my way through. If I was only running linux at this end, generating keys would probably not be a problem, but I have not had to set ANYTHING up for any other project so having to work out how to do that now is just another brick wall to climb. EMC does have something in common with all projects thought - navigation through the website/wiki/documentation to find out things is just as painful ;) I would LIKE to get in a position where I can offer Linux/EMC2 as an alternative to Windows/Mach3 on the ITX boxes I currently ship, so I have been trying to find some time to get back into things. Currently I don't need to worry about CVS access, other than being used to monitoring bug fixes via it on other projects, via SF, and so that is what I'm used to, and it sounds as if I just need to switch on the sf-emc feeds again? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://home.lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://home.lsces.co.uk MEDW - http://home.lsces.co.uk/ModelEngineersDigitalWorkshop/ Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
