Re: Newbie committer questions.
but instead I used the :ext: protocol and set CVS_RSH=ssh with cygwin, just like I do for sourceforge. Would I get any benefit from using ssh tunneling? [Jeremias Maerki] You don't have to establish the SSH connection everytime you do a CVS operation. It's speedier. Thanks, perhaps I'll give it a try later. For now the CVS_RSH method works fine and fast enough. [Glen Mazza] ... Finn, would you mind taking over the rest of your last patch? The issues I found can be discussed and changed, if necessary, after you apply it. I'll get to it tomorrow, friday. I can't see any way of doing it incrementally, so I'm going to commit the rest of it in one go. regards, finn
Newbie committer questions.
Hi, I've received my account information and everything appears to work fine. In the guides for setting up CVS there are several ways to set up tunneling http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsonwin32.html but instead I used the :ext: protocol and set CVS_RSH=ssh with cygwin, just like I do for sourceforge. Would I get any benefit from using ssh tunneling? When I committed my first modification I got the CVS/Template file shown, but from browsing around a bit in the archives of commit mails, I couldn't find an example of anyone using that Template. What is the policy on this? I also guess that we are not yet updating any CHANGES files with the modification we make? regards, finn

Don't know, maybe to work around some firewall issues (I'm using CVS_RSH=ssh myself on linux) When I committed my first modification I got the CVS/Template file shown, but from browsing around a bit in the archives of commit mails, I couldn't find an example of anyone using that Template. What is the policy on this? Mmmh, sometimes the PR;/Submitted by: is used but most of the times it just gets deleted. I also guess that we are not yet updating any CHANGES files with the modification we make? We *should* (status.xml for HEAD and CHANGES for maintenance-branch) status.xml will be rendered nicely to http://xml.apache.org/fop/changes.html Christian
