Hi there,
I'm trying to add a new sourcforge CVS repository to my project "PowerFolder".
I always get: "The cvs server did not respond to an 'ls' command. Are the URL and module name correct?"
Sourc URL: pserver:anonymous:@powerfolder-.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/powerfolder- Module name: PowerFolder
What can I do?
Best regards, Christian

Hi Christian,
I suspect you are simply missing the : prefix on the CVS URL.
pserver:anonymous:@powerfolder-.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/powerfolder- PowerFolder
does not work but
:pserver:anonymous:@powerfolder-.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/powerfolder- PowerFolder
appears to be OK.

Nope, still the same error message. Maybe the '-' characters confuse ohloh?

Hmmm, very odd.
It works from my development machine, which is running MacOS X.
From our servers, which run Ubuntu, it does indeed appear that the '-' character is causing some kind of problem. No amount of escaping or quoting makes it go away.
We need this command to pass:
$ cvsnt -d ':pserver:anonymous:@powerfolder-.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/powerfolder-' ls PowerFolder
Error connecting to host powerfolder-.cvs.sourceforge.net: Unknown error
I'll keep experimenting and see if I can find a way to get the URL through.
Anyone have any clues?
Thanks, Robin
