Description José Romildo Malaquias 2003-12-29 03:58:12 UTC 
It seems that the CVS server in the ebuild (subversions.gnu.org) does not work anymore. The Emacs CVS page at savanah (http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs) mentions the savannah.gnu.org repository.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Jeremy Maitin-Shepard 2003-12-29 04:40:00 UTC 
Currently, the Emacs CVS tree is available only via SSH password authentication, which is not currently supported by cvs.eclass.  I have made the necessary changes to cvs.eclass, and am waiting for a response from the cvs.eclass maintainer.  After the necessary changes are made to cvs.eclass, which should not be long, I will commit an updated emacs-cvs ebuild.
Comment 2 Daniel Jensen 2003-12-31 07:48:53 UTC 
There's no need to change cvs.eclass. Just add this to the emacs-cvs ebuild:

ECVS_AUTH="ext"

According to the following statement, pserver access will not likely appear again.

Comment 3 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-31 08:58:45 UTC 
Fixed.
Comment 4 Jeremy Maitin-Shepard 2003-12-31 14:28:53 UTC 
It ``works'' but now it is interactive, which is not what we want.
Comment 5 Jeremy Maitin-Shepard 2004-01-04 06:53:29 UTC 
coredumb commited the neccessary changes to cvs.eclass, and I commited an update emacs-cvs ebuild to handle CVS SSH host key checking, so all should be working now.
