While developing a dev-perl/bioperl-cvs ebuild, I found a situation where I needed to log into a pserver with a user name and password. cvs.eclass defaults to using _no_ password when connecting to "anonymous" pserver. This is very simply an extention of phoen][x's inline python code that lets cvs use 'ext' type authentication. I've tested and works OK, and is only reached when ECVS_ANON=yes AND ECVS_PASS is not null such that standard anoncvs with no pass should continue to work as before. Momentarily I'll be submitting the bioperl ebuilds and their chain of dependencies, and will mark the bioperl-cvs ebuild bug as dependent on this one. thanks, Gontran

Connecting to a pserver w/ username and password? Could you give me the server information so that i can test it myself? I want to clean up your inline code a bit. (Nothing against it, only want to keep the eclass clean) -phoen][x-
Sure, the cvsroot for the bioperl project is: cvs.bioperl.org:/home/repository/bioperl user 'cvs', pass 'cvs'. The homepage for the cvs server is at http://cvs.bioperl.org/ and has all the usual instructions for connecting to their pserver. thanks for your attention. Gontran
Maybe you could mail me your address so I could send you some chocolate, pizza or beer from Canada? :) Gontran
Sorry Gontran, i was offline for one month - had to do real-life stuff. Now, back to business. @Dan: Could you take a look into it? It worked for me (when i checked it one month ago), but you wrote cvs.eclass so it's not my baby alone, is it? :) -phoen][x-
Hey Gontran. It's finally in. Thanks for the contribution and sorry for the delay once more. -phoen][x-
