:ext authentication

Hi Helix,

I believe Robin answered your question via email - is that correct? The reason I ask is that Robin is on vacation this week and I want to make sure your problem was handled.

I'm afraid the answer at this time is a polite, Sorry, we can't do that yet.

Over time we're definitely going to expand the number of source code repository formats we accept, prioritized by the number of requests we get.

I'll check the validation on CVS usernames. You're right -- a hyphen should be OK.

Thanks
Robin

Can I add another request for the :ext CVS repository type as I also can't add a project because of this...

Thanks David

Just hit that limitation.
When that's fixed, you'll be able to add openssh (the portable, non-openbsd distribution):
cvs -d :ext:[email protected]:/cvs co openssh

I would also like to see ssh based cvs access. My repo only uses ssh

any news on this subject?

No news on this front. IIRC, this requires us to install pre-shared keys on our server farm?

Why does this require pre-shared keys to be installed on your server? Yes I understand that would be the case for non anonymous use of the :ext extension, but for anoncvs it shouldn't matter..
