How to d/w form the CVS?

How to d/w form the CVS?

[Mukund JB.]

Hi All,

I got the tslib package on the link below in a CVS repository of
arm.linux.org.uk. I am trying to do get that. I have a doubt here. 

Do I need to have a public IP to connect to the CVS? 
I have executed it as follows:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@pubcvs.arm.linux.org.uk:/mnt/src/cvsroot

where "/mnt/src/cvsroot" exists. What does the pserver mean?

Then if I say 

#cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:cvs@pubcvs.arm.linux.org.uk:2401/mnt/srv/cvsroot/
CVS passwd:
Cvs [login aborted]: connect to pubcvs.arm.linux.org.uk(212.18.232.187):
12402 failed: Network is unreachable.

What could be the problem?

Also, if I say chroot /mnt/src/cvsroot, according to what u told me and
the documentation, if I run a install script, it will launch in into
this directory. If so, please explain me how it works.

I am getting the following output when I run chroot.

#chroot /mnt/src
chroot: /bin/bash: No such file or directory

What does this mean?

Regards,
Mukund jampala

It depends on what you mean. Your workstation needs to have some sort of 
access to a public IP address to make any connections to the Internet. 
If it has a private address, it needs to be behind a NAT'ing router or 
use a proxy server. If it does the second of these, you are likely to 
have a problem, since proxy servers do not usually support connections 
to arbitrary servers, just a few well-known ones like http and ftp.

This line identifies a remote server that the cvs command will try  to 
connect to. The entry is in the same form used with scp: 
username@FQDN:remote directory.

I don't know what you mean by "where "/mnt/src/cvsroot" exists". Just to 
be clear: this path needs to exist not on your host but on the remote 
host you are trying to access.

I'm not familiar with this cvs server site specifically, so I do not 
know what it expects in response to the passwd: prompt, or what you 
tried there ... but that is unlikely to be the problem here. The 
"Network is unreachable" almost always means a problem with either the 
routing table or the firewall ruleset (either on your workstation or on 
the router that conencts it to the Internet).

Can you ping pubcvs.arm.linux.org.uk (I can, so the address is 
reachable)? If not, what error does ping report?

If it is a routing problem, we'll need some details about your network 
to advise you. For the host you are on (I'm assuming here that it is s 
Linux host, since this is a Linux list), report the output of

	uname -a
	netstat -nr
	iptables -nvL

If your system uses a private IP address, provide the details of how it 
connects to the Internet. Be as specific as you can.

I'm not replying to the last part of your message, below, since it is 
clearly part of an ongoing dialog with the individual you sent this 
message to (aside from the list) so too difficult to join in midstream.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the support.
I have the problem. I was doing a mistake with not mentioning the proper
directory and I was thinking that the directory should exists her and
not there.

When I use the Private IP, it was saying 

	12402 failed: Network is unreachable.

Only when I changed it to private IP, it was working.

However, I am using a public IP to accessing the CVS. Can't I do it with
the private IP. Is it a must that I should I have the PUBLIC IP?
