Just spotted on SourceForge main page
Maybe this is what all you Windows folks are looking for. SFSetup v1 released mhearn - 06/28/00 11:00 - SourceForge Setup for Win32 SFSetup is a program to automatically setup SSH and WinCVS for SourceForge projects under the Windows 32 platform. It's now available for download so if you have not yet set up SSH and WinCVS and want it done for you, you can use this program. Go to sfsetup.sourceforge.net to find out how to use it. It's open source and written in Delphi - the code is in CVS and any improvements are welcome! Thanks -mike -- Greg Ward - Linux nerd gward@python.net http://starship.python.net/~gward/ I love ROCK 'N ROLL! I memorized the all WORDS to "WIPE-OUT" in 1965!!

Note that this requires WinCVS 1.06 specifically (something like that -- see SFSetup's readme or whatever). I tried using it with a later version of WinCVS, and it left my machine in some state such that the behaviors of both cmdline CVS and WinCVS make no sense to anyone who has seen them actually working correctly. Barry in particular is baffled by how I manage to check in anything at all now. My ssh_keygen doesn't work either (no, I do *not* need even more pointers to purported Windows ssh implementations -- I've got 'em all, and I'll eventually unpack the one that happens to work on my system <wink>). The great thing about all the instructions I've found so far is that they're written by people who apparently have no real understanding of how the underlying components (and/or Windows) work. So they're full of magical incantations that may or may not make sense on your particular setup. They may as well be trying to explain how to get the Microsoft Foundation Classes running under Linux <wink>. poke-&-hope-will-win-in-the-end-ly y'rs - tim

I found the same damn thing. I actually emailed one of the guys about an apparent contradiction between his howto and another one and he basically said: "Hey, this is what works for me!" (in his defence, he did justify his interpration based on guesses about what the ssh for Windows porters were thinking) I also found that sfsetup program useless. Worse than useless. I have no idea what it did to my system. Argh. I eventually got it working. I'd love to tell you what I did but I just hacked and hacked until it worked. One time I got those messages that ESR did but who knows what made them go away. I'm not using ssh keys.
