MetaPRL Read-Write CVS Access

1. Make sure you have OpenSSH (or some other implementation of SSH version 1 protocol) installed on your computer.
2. If you do not have a CVS account set up for you on cvs.metaprl.org:
   1. Generate an SSH v.1 RSA key pair (see our server HOWTO document for detailed instructions).
   2. Send your public key (~/.ssh/identity.pub) and your desired login to Aleksey Nogin (nogin@cs.caltech.edu).
3. Put the following into your ~/.ssh/config file (if you do not have ~/.ssh/config file, then create one):

   Host metaprl-cvs
   HostName cvs.metaprl.org
   Port 80
   FallBackToRsh no
   ForwardX11 no
   User <your login on cvs.metaprl.org>

4. Set environment variable CVS_RSH to ssh. You may want to add this to your ~/.profile or ~/.cshrc file.
5. Make sure you are using cvs version >=1.9 (cvs -v prints version).
6. To create new working copy:

   cvs -d :ext:metaprl-cvs:/cvsroot checkout metaprl

   If for some reason you can not connect to port 80 on metaprl-cvs, try using port 3000 instead.
7. To fix an old repository:
   1. Put the following in the /tmp/fixrep.sh :

      #!/bin/sh
      echo :ext:metaprl-cvs:/cvsroot > $1/Root
      (echo 's|/metaprl|/--metaprl-root-dir--|'; echo 's|^.*/--metaprl-root-dir--|/cvsroot/metaprl|'; echo w; echo q) | ed $1/Repository

   2. chmod 755 /tmp/fixrep.sh

   3. find <old repository directory> -type d -name CVS -exec /tmp/fixrep.sh \{\} \;
