I have followed the CVS tutorial and I still can not get into cvs. I recognize much of the content of the tutorial from the sourceforge cvs tutorial, but there is not enough instruction on what to do for -our- cvs setup. A simple step-by-step "this is what you do for your gentoo cvs account" would be nice. Cheers! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I'd rather keep the CVS tutorial as is and include the information you want in the http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/infrastructure/cvs-sshkeys.xml document (or add it to the developers-howto?). It allows for a separation between user-docs and developer docs and reduces the number of "hey I dont seem to have access to cvs.gentoo.org" messages brought up by the users. Could you agree on this?
I'm marking this as WONTFIX due to the following reason: When you are introduced as a Gentoo developer, you aren't left in the dark. You should get a mentor that informs you how things are done. If this isn't the case, you could screw up more than we can fix (well, theoretically, but Mr. Murphy is always in the vicinity). This mentor will inform you about your CVS settings (which is essentially nothing more than the CVSROOT variable iirc). If at any time we need this sort of things documented, it should be in a developer-specific document (which we would *require* developers to read) and not a general tutorial. I hope this is a satisfactory explanation (I'm just human after all :)
