I'm having trouble with pulling from cvs under 64-bit cygwin.
I have parallel 32-bit and 64-bit cygwin installs on a Win7 Enterprise machine.
Under 32-bit cygwin, I do this all the time:
cvs -z3 -d:ext:lloydw...@savi.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/savi co savi-dev
and quite happily; type password at prompt, pull files and go.
Under 64-bit cygwin, this doesn't work; I never get a password prompt.
try with
CVS_RSH="ssh"; export CVS_RSH
cvs -z3 -d:ext:lloydw...@savi.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/savi co
savi-dev
I see that the cvs versions are different:
Under 64-bit cygwin:
$ which cvs
/usr/bin/cvs
$ cvs -version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.23 (client/server)
Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Under 32-bit cygwin
$ which cvs
/usr/bin/cvs
$ cvs -version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13 (client/server)
So, different versions, the cvs version under 64-bit Cygwin appears earlier
than the version under 32-bit Cygwin (but I no longer understand FSF version
numbering; don't ask me about gcc 5...) but this earlier(?) version has a later
year. And, unlike 32-bit, doesn't seem to work.
Something here is very very odd, and I'd appreciate enlightenment.
