[Geoserver-devel] CVS Troubles

Hi together,

I tried to compile a new project out from the CVS repositoy. I am using JBuilder 6 on a Win2000 System. But when I click finish (in JBuilder) I get the waiting cursor and that is it. I can wait as long as I want and nothing is happening. What I discovered is that I do not have the -d parameter and I cannot set it up or I do not know how to.

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anonymised.com:/cvsroot/geoserver login

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@anonymised.com:/cvsroot/geoserver co modulename

I am also not an expert with CVS. So, any help will be appreciated.

So I have no idea how to set cvs options in JBuilder. But you should be
able to get around it by setting an environement variable. The -d option
overrides $CVSROOT as the root of the cvs tree. So instead you can set
the CVSROOT environment variable. TO do that in windows2000, go to
start->settings->control panel->system->advanced->environment variables.
There you should be able to add a CVSROOT and set it equal to what comes
after the -d variable. I actually couldn't get it working with anonymous
access, but I successfully did it with my sourceforge account. If you
don't yet have a sourceforge account it's really easy to get one. You
just have to register. I think the url is
http://sourceforge.net/account/register.php. Or just go to the main page
and navigate to get a new account. The environmental variable I used was
CVSROOT=':ext:username@cvs.geoserver.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/geoserver',
where username is the username you just registered. If that still doesn't
work with jbuilder, I would probably get another cvs client program, and
check it out that way, and then add the project to JBuilder after you
get it. I'm not an expert with cvs either, so if anyone knows a better
way (or someone who actually uses windows, as I'm on linux), then post to
the list.

  Hope this helps,
