CVS on OSX
Authored by: riotlager on Sep 12, '01 07:57:34PM

you could probably just copy your identity and identity.pub flies over, but it would be easier if you just used ssh-keygen and made new ones. (or, make the new ones then copy over the contents of your original files)

as for using some cvs client, if you can ssh/shell into the development area, you can use cvs via the command line, it's not terribly difficult.

CVS on OSX
Authored by: ScottSO on Sep 17, '01 04:22:41PM
You may want to give this a try. If you have the developer package installed, there is a program called CVL which is a GUI interface to CVS. I use it from time to time in a Windows networked development environment building Web applications. The only word of caution is that line termination can cause some headache.

I have not had the courage to test things out too much across our network and therefore have not found a good way to supply the -kb option to my commits and additions et cetera via CVL. The -kb option tells CVS not to look for flags in the files you are adding or committing. It has been my experience that with DOS text files the CRLF line termination characters are not handled well with a UNIX-based repository and the server adds its own line ending--LF, and in essence makes all files double-spaced.

Using the command-line CVS application with the -kb option I have been able to remedy this situation. It should be possible to make CVL suppply this option automatically when needed. I believe WinCVS and MacCVS do this already.

Good luck.
