Hi all, I'm currently responsible for introducing cvs to our dvpt team. We currently have a test server and will soon migrate it to a production cvs server. My cvs client of choice is jCVS, although I have to illustrate how we can talk to cvsnt from different clients. The majority of our team using emacs. I have successfully installed the pcl-cvs-1.05 package for emacs, although I don't think it is configured properly. If I issue cvs commands it will crash emacs. As an interim measure CVSROOT is set when starting emacs. I have been testing connecting to a cvs server by using a shell within emacs. However, the client seems to hang using 100% cpu. This happens when trying to communicate with both our cvsnt server and another unix cvs server, which would suggest a config problem. Part of the problem is probably my misunderstanding of the configuration. For instance pcl-cvs requires a path to the cvs executable. This doesn't make sense, if the cvs server is on a separate machine. So is it safe to assume that emacs can only connect to a cvs server residing on the same physical machine. I would certainly hope not! Would any emacs users be able to supply details of their setup/configuration. regards Richard Lovell
