Dear Charles Wilson,
I'm a cygwin user and I have problems using CVS. I'm trying to use the following command fron cygwin:
> cvs -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/gcc co -D 8/25/2004 gcc
The result is
' from cvs serverning: unrecognized response`ok
and then the program hangs.
The very same command works smoothly in a SGI workstation.
In both machines I have
setenv CVS_RSH ssh
I'm sorry, but I can't reproduce this. I've tried your exact command, with 'export CVS_RSH=ssh' (I use bash, not a csh-ish shell). I've done it in a working directory which is mounted in binary (unix) mode, and in one which is mounted in text (DOS) mode. In both cases, it works without error.
Now, that's started from a standstill (no previous checkout).
I note that when I do this 'beginning' checkout from a text mode working directory, the following files have '^M' endings:
*/CVS/Entries */CVS/Entries.log */CVS/Repository */CVS/Root */CVS/Tag
That might be a bad thing -- since it would tend to mess up future 'update' checkouts (and cvs diffs, and ...) ***IF*** cvs is opening those files for READ in binary mode (that is, not translating the '^M's away).
But it doesn't.
I mean, cvs opens those files in the appropriate mode, stripping away the '^M's as far as I can tell. I'm going to need more information.
"Run 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out' and include that file as an attachment in your report. Please do not compress or otherwise encode the output. Just attach it as a straight text file so that it can be easily viewed."
