If the pserver url in a CVS directory is e.g. :pserver:user@host/directory Eclipse will try to connect to the host "hos", and not "host" when using the Team>Share Project option. Just about all examples of pserver "url"'s use an extra colon, but it is not really required unless you want to specify a port.
The valid format (from the cederqvist) is: :method:[[user][:password]@]hostname[:[port]]/path/to/repository However, this does not work with CVS on NT so we use the format :method:[user[:password]@]hostname[#port]:/path/to/repository Some differences to note: The : after the host/port is not optional because of NT naming including device e.g. :pserver:username:password@hostname#port:D:\cvsroot
The root is what existing CVS/Root files contain (i.e. the server accept the syntax). Couldn't eclipse then simply accept that? I'm not checking out new stuff.
The format in the cedarquist does say that the colon after the host is optional and although we did fix this in one spot, there must be somewhere else that is expecting the colon. The CVS/Root file will contain the colon if the project is checked out with Eclipse or if the user specifies the colon in the argument passed to the -d global argument when checking out the project. Therefore, the workaround is to either check the project out with Eclipse or make sure you include the colon when using another CVS client. Ideally, this should be fixed, but given there are workarounds, I don't consider it a high priority. Of course, patches are gratefully accepted;-)
There is currently no plan to address this item.
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported. Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
