Hy,
I've used cvsnt for a while with archlinux (http://archlinux.org).
Recently after an OS upgrade I found cvsnt is not working anymore while
I've completly rebuild it. I can't find which dependency cause my
problem. Here are what happend:
when I try to use it i've got an undocumented (at least for me as i
don't find it anywhere) error.
=== quote ===
[user at host user]# cvs -d :ext:myserver:/directory update
cvs [update aborted]: the :ext: access method is not available on this
system
=== /quote ===
I don't have any issue with the server and I still access it with older
version of my linux distribution.
I've tried rsh to it from the same host to test cvsnt (server side)
=== quote ===
[user at host user]$ rsh myserver cvs -v

any networked methods giving the same result (pserver, server, ...) and
local (file based) cvs access are working properly.
for those knowing archlinux, here is my PKGBUILD file, no specific
options given to build it
