Import from CVS via SSH?

Asked by Larry Gilbert

I was hoping to import OpenSSL's code from their CVS server. It allows anonymous, read-only access via SSH.

Following their instructions, I am able to do a successful CVS+SSH checkout on my own machine, but Launchpad's VCS import process fails due to timeout, apparently because it waits for (and gives up on) a human confirming a new server key.

Is it possible for cvs.openssl.org's SSH key to be added manually, or is CVS over SSH not supported at this time? They do not provide pserver access; otherwise I would just use that.

I've accepted the key on the servers. cscvs is supposed to ignore key issues -- maybe a change in openssh between dapper and hardy has broken this part? Anyway, it should get a bit further now.

Sorry, I didn't know a robot would write a reply for me. :-)

That seems to have done the trick, Michael. It looks like it made a second attempt that stopped short after 5.5 hours (I didn't go all the way through the humongous log to see why), but then it started again 3 hours ago and is still running as of this writing. I'm assuming it's doing what it should. It definitely solved the SSH issue, so thank you for your help!
