- If you do not have a CVS account set up for you on source.cs.cornell.edu:
- If you don't have a ssh public key, then run ssh-keygen1. If you do not
want your key to be protected by a passphrase, then press <Enter> when asked for one.
Make sure you are using the ssh-keygen from ssh version 1.
- Send your public key (~/.ssh/identity.pub) and your desired login to
cvs-admin@cs.cornell.edu.
- Put the following into your ~/.ssh/config file (if you do not have ~/.ssh/config file, then create one):
Host source.cs.cornell.edu
Port 80
FallBackToRsh no
ForwardX11 no
User <your login on source>
- Set the environment variable CVS_RSH to ssh1 (include
the full path to ssh1 if necessary).
On Unix, add this to your ~/.profile or ~/.cshrc
file. On NT, make it part of your environment
(Control Panel/System/Environment)
- Make sure you are using cvs version >=1.9 (you can find out
what version you have by typing cvs -v).
You may need to download cvs from somewhere but it should
be installed already on your machine.
- To create a new working copy of the source repository, do:
cvs -d :ext:source.cs.cornell.edu:/cvsroot checkout polyglot
