When I tried "cvs update" today, I got an error from ssh: Same thing happens to me when I use cvs.python.sf.net:/cvsroot/python but not when I use cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/python. I think the latter is the current approved way of connecting to the cvs repository (I've been using that form with Mailman for a while and also have no problems there).

Yes, this is also what they mention on the CVS pages.

I'll attach a nice little cvschroot script that Greg Ward sent me a long time ago. I'm sure he won't mind. cd to your python directory and type:

% cvschroot cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/python Then do a cvs up and all should be golden.

I had to type

cvs_chroot :ext:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/python

where is the sourceforge users name.

Greg's script even works on windows, as it seems.
