Developer Information

Access to the CVS repository of LON-CAPA is available by

web
CVS command line tools -- submit a help request to the MSU LON-CAPA group to request a CVS USERNAME.
The initial CVS commands would be:
export CVS_RSH=ssh export CVSROOT=:ext:USERNAME@source.lon-capa.org:/home/cvs cvs co loncapa
You will be prompted to enter your password each time you issue a cvs command.
A solution to this is to use
```
        ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa
        
```
to generate public and private keys in ~/.ssh/
Email the public key (id_dsa.pub) to helpdesk at loncapa.org so it can be added to the appropriate authorized_keys file on source.lon-capa.org

For more information on using CVS, please visit https://www.gnu.org/software/trans-coord/manual/cvs/cvs.html or read loncom/build/readme.html after downloading the current version of LON-CAPA as described above.
