Ahh! but there's the rub.
If I have w: (doze) == $HOME (Unix)
in W:/src AKA $HOME/src there is a file called:
CVS/Root which contains:
:pserver:vetterg@sunprototype1:/users/cvsroot^M
Note the ^M.
If I do:
cd $HOME/src
cvs checkout wwwroot
It will fail with:
cvs checkout: authorization failed: server sunprototype1 rejected access to
/users/cvsroot^M
for user vetterg
cvs checkout: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password
If I do export CVSROOT=:pserver:vetterg@sunprototype1:/users/cvsroot
It does not help (because the CVS/Root is still used)
If I do cvs checkout -d :pserver:vetterg@sunprototype1:/users/cvsroot so no
joy (same error)
However if I edit CVS/Root (to remove the cntrl M {Carrage Return})
it all works fine.
On reflection I think this is a CVS/pserver bug. The CVSROOT value refers
to information held on the sever, therefore it should be held/transmitted
in CANNONICAL form.
BTW: on a related issue, I found that jcvs has a bug for binary files (-kb)
it still does the CR/LF translation WinCVS and the GNU CVS (doze) clients
are fine.
What's the process for raising these?
