Geeklog enlistment failed

Hi,

Geeklog changed the CVS server, its now

cvs -d:ext:[email protected]:/cvsroot/geeklog co Geeklog-1.x

password is geeklog.

I tried to enter it as

source code URL :ext:[email protected]:/cvsroot/geeklog
module Geeklog-1.x
username anonymous
password geeklog

but I get an error: The cvs server did not respond to an 'ls' command. Are the URL and module name correct?

what could be wrong? This data should be working.

Also, I am missing a search-function for the forum :-)

Sorry, made a mistake in the report:

If I try :ext: I get a The URL does not appear to be a valid pserver connection string.
If I change the :ext: to pserver I get a The cvs server did not respond to an 'ls' command. Are the URL and module name correct?

hi tokyoahead,

the problem is that Ohloh doesn't support cvs's ext protocol - which your server seems to only support. The answer is to enable pserver support on your (or geeklog's) server.

While pserver is notoriously unsecure, this can be mitigated somewhat using a chroot jail. Check out this tutorial on how to achieve this.

Hope this helps.

Is there any particular reason for not supporting 'ext'? Ie. Novell Forge uses only ext.
