Accessing Oscommerce's CVS Repository

[Farrukh]

HIya ll

 

I am trying to get access to CVS Repository of Oscommerce and I am unable to do so through " WINCVS ".

 

I tried to login as Admin as well as Create => Create New Repository

 

but i get this error everytime.

 

Python is not available !

cvs -d ":pserver:cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tep login" login 

Logging in to :pserver:cvs [email protected]:2401/cvsroot/tep login

Fatal error, aborting.

cvs [login aborted]: cvs -d: no such user



***** CVS exited normally with code 1 *****

 

I have installed Python for Windows and its the latest version. But WinCVS still says that Python is not avalaible.

 

 

I have tried both these commands described at http://www.oscommerce.com/community/cvs

 

 

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tep login

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tep checkout modulename

 

Has anyone been able to access the repository through WinCVS.

I have browsed the CVS Repository through SourceForge's web-based ViewCVS at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tep/

 

But I want to do it with WinCVS too.

I gave up after similar frustrations with WinCVS, but am now very satisfied with Tortoise CVS:

In case you don't already have a Diff viewer, Tortoise CVS works seamlessly with ExamDiff:

(warning: this site is unfriendly to non-IE browsers)

 

These two free tools make working with the online CVS a breeze, and have made me a True Believer.

Fritz Thanks for the alternative to WinCVS. I'll give it a try but I would still want to go with WinCVS , if anyone else has done it.

I have installed Tortoise CVS and it does work.

 

But WinCVS is still giving me a hard time.
