CVS

Using CVS

The reprap CVS server is access by SSH with public key authentication to avoid password issues.

SSH Configuration

The server runs on a non-standard port. The easiest way to make ssh use the correct when called from CVS is to add the following lines to your ~/.ssh/config file:

host reprap.voodoo.co.nz port 922

CVS Configuration

Checking out code is accomplished with commands something this:

$ export CVSROOT=:ext:[email protected]:/cvsroot $ export CVS_RSH=ssh $ cvs co reprap

Getting your account set up

The following details are needed:

• Your IP address, addresses, masks or netblocks. This is so the firewall will let your connections through.
• Your SSH public key. If you don't already have one, you can create one
  • Issue the command ssh-keygen -t rsa
  • This will create ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
• Send the IP address in an [email to me|mailto:[email protected] email to me] and attach the public key. Please do not send me the private key (~/.ssh/id_rsa).

If it doesn't work

The first thing to try:

$ telnet reprap.voodoo.co.nz 922

You should get a connect and see an ssh server version number. If there is no connection, then the firewall is blocking you. Double check the address.

Next try this:

$ ssh -p 922 [email protected]

It should give you a shell prompt with no prompting for a password. [Let me know|mailto:[email protected] Let me know] if it doesn't. It probably means the public key or username is incorrect, or that your public key doesn't match your private key.
