Joe,

Please can you sort out your end of line issues before doing any more
commits. Almost all of your recent cvs commits show the entire file
being replaced with different end of lines.

On Mac and Linux I just use standard cvs and ssh.

On Windows I use the standard binary from the people who do CVS. You
can get it from
https://ccvs.cvshome.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?expandFolder=83&folderID=0

For the SSH side I use components from putty, specifically plink and pageant.

$CVS_RSH is set to plink.

I think I have only done one cvs commit from Windows, but it didn't
have any EOL problems. I use Turtle CVS and putty. For editing, I
think I used something called "IDLE" that came with the Python
installation that I have.

In Joe's case I think it is because he is using cygwin or something
trying to interoperate with cygwin. For the record noone should
ever use cygwin for any part of BitPim development for any reason.

I think you'll find it is called TortoiseCVS :-)

On a related note, I have moved all professional and personal projects to
Subversion and really like it. SourceForge are dragging their heels
but will hopefully be deploying it soon. I will want to move ASAP, and
in fact if SourceForge decide not to provide Subversion then we'll go
elsewhere (eg Berlios).

On Windows TortoiseSVN is absolutely fantastic. I haven't actually
ever used the Windows command line svn client since you can do
everything easily from the gui.

I highly recommend the Subversion book as background reading. See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/

I would absolutely love to have Trac as well. Read about it at
http://www.edgewall.com/trac/ and see it in action at
http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/

Unfortunately it looks like it will be a long time before SourceForge
has simple things like the timeline viewer or a better usable bug tracking
system, a wiki etc.

You get that with Python on all platforms. It uses Tk but allegedly
has issues running gui programs or using the debugger with a gui program.

After trying out various packages, I settled with TortoiseCVS and committed a few test files, and they all seemed to be OK. TortoiseCVS apparently includes plink as part of the package so it works nicely with ssh. Now I'd just need figure out how to configure my private key so I don't have to enter my passw everytime!

Run pageant and add your key.
