Yes, we do all our development and most of our testing on Linux. Truth be told, a lot of our Windows support is provided by third parties right now. Unfortunately, a lot of our dependencies are not really tested well on Windows, so it's difficult to support. You will have the best luck with a mode

I don't have anything else I could recommend. This is a new problem to me, and I'd have to do some work myself to figure out if there's a solution on Windows. We don't really officially support plink right now, but it'd be nice to get it working. If possible, I'd suggest installing this into a Lin

So it looks like plink requires that the host keys be in the Registry. We would have to implement support for this to make it seamless, but fortunately the Putty guys have a script that will import a known_hosts file into the Registry. See: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.ht

hi, sorry for the delay in replying. i checked the path you specified and i see a known hosts file created there. it includes the cvs host too.

Yeah, this is going to remain a problem. When using :ext:, cvs is going to ask for verification on the credentials. That's what we're trying to solve in 1.5, but it seems it's breaking for your setup. It could be something specific with a Windows host. I would have to do some further research. Wha

The HOME issue is something I'm hoping to address before 1.5 is out the door. For now, try adding a new SetEnv directive in the Apache config for the site that points HOME to some directory in your RB site directory. You'll need to create this directory and make sure that Apache can write to it.

hi, i checked the process tree during hang and saw that httpd starts cvs, which in turn starts plink through a new shell. All these processes does not terminate during the hang. to see if i can try it manually, i invoked cvs directly with the same command line and it finished in a second. It produc

We're checking to make sure it's a valid repository. That's a large CVSROOT, but shouldn't take that long, certainly. Sounds more like something is hung and not finishing. It may be failing to see the stored certificate and is asking for input. Try to reproduce it and see if the cvs process sticks

Hi, When using :ext:, we attempt to connect to the host through ssh to get the certificate information and present it to the user. It sounds like this is somehow failing. We're using the paramiko Python module for this. It's possible that this is having some issues. You can verify this by typing:
