Description Chris van Engelen CLA 2006-04-20 09:53:26 EDT 
When adding a new CVS repository location with the "Add CVS Repository"
window, the connection type must be specified as either extssh, pserver
or ext. 

Because of this, it was not possible to use a local CVS repository, setup
on my workstation for local use only. Therefore I first had to make my CVS
repository available via pserver (by adding a cvspserver entry in /etc/xinetd.d)
before I could use my local CVS repository.

Maybe I missed something in the "Add CVS Repository" window, but the Finish
button only becomes non-greyed-out after selecting the connection method.

Therefore, please allow also for local CVS repositories, which do not
require any sort of connection.
Comment 1 Michael Valenta CLA 2006-04-20 10:03:23 EDT 
This is difficult to do since the use of a local connection requires a client that also acts as a server. This is easy for the CVS CLI executable since the same executable is used on the client and the server but is more difficult for other CVS clients.
