[Pythonmac-SIG] [Ann] MacCvs and MacPython users

[Alexandre Parenteau]

Hi,

I'm delighted to introduce MacCvs for Mach-O. This is true POSIX
implementation which is using a native cvs command spawn from MacCvs (using
fork !) and native ssh (no more MacSSH, it gets the ssh keys directly from
~/.ssh).

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10072&release_id=76353

Here are the 2 programs you want to know about :

- MaccvsX : The PowerPlant-Mach-O front-end to cvs
- cvsgui : the unix command line replacement for cvs which extends cvs with
the MacCvs/MacCvsPro extensions (HQX, MacBinary and ISO8859) and is using
the cvsgui protocol. Plus it has some other extensions to cvs, like the
ability to access a pserver repository thru a http proxy.

If you want to check-out MacPython using MaccvsX , please make sure you
set-up ISO8859 to point to 'MacCvsPro' in the MacCvsX prefs.

If you use the 'cvsgui' command line from the shell, define 'setenv ISO8859
2' in your .tcshrc.

(Using ISO8859 is very important when checking out MacPython because some
critical .py files are encoded that way on the cvs server).

Note 1 : MacCvs, MacCvsPro and MacCvsX-Mach-O are somehow compatible each
other. But because of line termination and other things, it is recommended
to not mix the clients together. However MacCvsX-Mach-O and the cvsgui
command line are fully compatible each other.

Note 2 : MacPython integration inside MacCvsX is not functional yet. I'm
having trouble to load the MacPython framework at the moment (MacCvs is
using MacPython for Macros).

Alex.
