New committer questions

Yep -- got mail from Brian. Looks like I'll need to do some
installing/configuring of things, though, before I can in fact "commit
away!" :) And before I do all that, I have a couple of questions:
- Is CVS smart about line-endings? If I work from my NT, is
it going to add all those ugly ^M's? I can work from a Unix
machine instead if that'd be better.
- Is setting up the SSH stuff easier to do for Unix or NT?
- I have Cygwin on my NT that I currently use to pull Ant from CVS,
but the committer info talks about WinCVS -- do I need that,
or can I continue to use the CVS I have, if I do end up working
from the NT?
Thanks,
Diane

I switched my company over to CVS (on Linux) recenly, and all the
programmers use WinCvs from NT without much hassle. I'm not sure about the
configuration for SSH though. This should be on the WinCvs site:
http://www.wincvs.org

Nope. You need to be smart about line endings yourself. Work from whatever
is easiest for you. There are applications on both platforms that can do the
conversion. Personally, I work *daily* with CVS from the following systems:
Linux
Solaris
MacOS 9
MacOS X Beta 2
Win98

Unix, by far. All you need to do is set your
CVS_RSH=/path/to/ssh
ie:
CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh
Then, just pretend that you aren't even using SSH. :-)
On Win, I use TeraTerm with the SSH stuff and then setup a tunnel. There are
directions on the jakarta site.

That is like asking if you should use lynx or netscape. They are all just
CVS clients and will work just fine. Personally, I like WinCVS more than
command line CVS.
