I have a CVS repository on our Linux development server that I need to access from my Win2k box. I can access that repository logged in locally on the sever via telnet, and I can also access it via WinCVS, but I need to be able to access it from the command line (trying psever). CVS from the command line is complaining about my CVSROOT variable. It's probably just a simple Win vs Unix syntax issue, but I need help.
Version on the sever is CVS 1.11.1p1 and I just downloaded the binary for Win which is v1.11.2 Sample of my session via a DOS window (CVSROOT is set as an environment variable to be ':pserver:derosier@engswdev:/swdev/cvsroot'): ------- J:\projects\ORHwBringUp>cvs ci -m "cmdline test" Makefile cvs commit: in directory .: cvs commit: ignoring CVS/Root because it specifies a non-existent repository /swdev/cvsroot cvs commit: in directory .: cvs commit: ignoring CVS/Root because it specifies a non-existent repository /swdev/cvsroot cvs commit: warning: failed to open C:\/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory cvs commit: authorization failed: server engswdev rejected access to /swdev/cvsroot for user derosier cvs commit: used empty password; try "cvs login" with a real password J:\projects\ORHwBringUp>set CVSROOT=:pserver:derosier@engswdev:/swdev/cvsroot J:\projects\ORHwBringUp>echo %CVSROOT% :pserver:derosier@engswdev:/swdev/cvsroot J:\projects\ORHwBringUp>cvs login cvs login: in directory .: cvs login: ignoring CVS/Root because it specifies a non-existent repository /swdev/cvsroot Logging in to :pserver:derosier@engswdev:2401/swdev/cvsroot CVS password: cvs login: warning: failed to open C:\/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory ---- BTW--engswdev properly resolves to the IP of the server as it is set in my hosts file. Any ideas would be great.
