Logining in CVS

Asked by Haseeb_GP

How can I login CVS? I tried to login using the command:

cvs login

But it give the following output:

cvs login: No CVSROOT specified! Please use the `-d' option
cvs [login aborted]: or set the CVSROOT environment variable.

OR

If I use following command before cvs login:

export CVSROOT=':pserver:<email address hidden>:/cvs/gnome'

cvslogin gives the following output:

naseer@linux:~$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:<email address hidden>:2401/cvs/gnome
CVS password:
/cvs/gnome: no such repository
naseer@linux:~$

So overall it look like this:

naseer@linux:~$ export CVSROOT=':pserver:<email address hidden>:/cvs/gnome'
naseer@linux:~$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:<email address hidden>:2401/cvs/gnome
CVS password:
/cvs/gnome: no such repository
naseer@linux:~$

Please help me!!

Hello Haseeb_GP

first of all, you should use Subversion instead of CVS for Gnome. Please see http://developer.gnome.org/tools/svn.html for details.

CVS usage has been discontinued on gnome.org.

If you still want to use cvs within your own cvs environment use:

cvs -d :pserver:<username>@<server name>:/cvs login

e.g.

cvs -d :pserver:myname@192.168.16.11:/cvs login
