Well, CVSup is a nifty little thing that sits on top of CVS trees, and does what you describe ;) > If yes, can anyone suggest anything that will allow people to POST > updates to a source tree from a remote computer, without access to > such frivolities as nfs/shell accounts/etc. You can use CVS itself. I know that it has a network mode of operation, which allows one (when working locally) to say things like: % mkdir /tmp/local % cd /tmp/local % setenv CVSROOT /home/cvs % cvs checkout src-all and when working remotely: % mkdir /tmp/remote % cd /tmp/remote % setenv CVSROOT ":pserver:anoncvs@cvs.host.name:/home/ncvs" % cvs login Password: [your pass here] % cvs checkout src-all I think that CVS uses an unencrypted protocol to communicate password and other sensitive data over it's :pserver: connections though. This might be, err, sub-optimal in some cases. A lot of people prefer using ssh to connect to the remote server and work locally. This requires that you use 'accounts' and you stated you do not like it, but I can't think right now of any other way of working remotely with CVS servers. Perhaps ssh-tunneling of CVS connections? - Giorgos Keramidas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
