Re: [Pnet-developers] Tortoise

[Gopal V]

Hi, 

If I remember correctly you had to configure your
CVSROOT 
in tortoise. Just passing the CVSROOT in the checkout
command
does not help - as you are still having -d:ext:cvs as
the 
CVSROOT in the listing youve attached.

The best way would be to run the raw command from the
commandline.
Also you need an SSH client (if youre using putty, you
should be
putting CVS_RSH=c:\\...\\plink.exe)

I am facing slightly different problems now that
Savannah no longer
keeps the 443 port open for CVS. So you could use my
daily snapshot
of pnet as well.

http://demo.dotgnu.org/~t3rmin4t0r/cvs-snapshots/

Of course, *after* untarring those tarballs .. you
could always
try to update those .. avoiding all the messing
CVSROOT issues.
But you still need an SSH client and CVS_RSH set to
that path.
(tortoise should handle that automatically, IIRC)

HTH,
Gopal
