my project blogs

• It has been a long time since the latest time I updated the smepor. Becase of some reason, I paused the developing of the project. I think I will continue updating in recent days.
• I changed my "updateweb" script which is located in shell.sf.net and added a statement of "rm -rf ~/temp/htdocs" to ensure that I can get the whole web pages from cvs.sf.net. And now, the "updateweb" looks like:

  #!/bin/bash
  
  # get all web files from cvs.sf.net to ~/temp/htdocs
  cp -f ~/backup/cvspass_anonymous ~/.cvspass
  cd ~/temp
  rm -rf htdocs
  cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs1:/cvsroot/smepor export -Dtomorrow -dhtdocs web
  
  # update the project's web that located /home/groups/s/sm/smepor/htdocs
  cp -rf ~/temp/htdocs/* /home/groups/s/sm/smepor/htdocs
  
  echo "the end"

• I received the mail from sf.net. They told me that the time the cron service can use again was not made a decision. So I wrote a script that can run the "webupdate" script in the shell.sf.net under local machine.

• I try the crontab command but it failed to work because of the stopping of cron service since 2004.7.22. (see here ). And I finished the web updating script. Now I edit the web page in my notepad and simply use cvs update to put the new changes to cvs.sf.net. Then I must login to the shell.sf.net to run the "updateweb" script handly for updating my web pages.
• Today's ingathering: the usage of crontab: crontab -e for edit the cron job

• success to config the cvs.exe downloaded from cvshome.org to touch the cvs.sf.net with ssh:
1. get PuTTY and use puttyGen.exe to genarate a key for us.
2. use putty.exe to create a session names "cvs.sourceforge.net", and set the private key for it
3. set CVS_RSH environment variable as plink. This is the most confusing step, because the manual of cvs in cvshome.org has not explained the true meaning of CVS_RSH. Thanks to google.com, I found part of the answer: CVS_RSH means the actual executable external programs. So if my plink.exe is under D:\ssh, I must set the CVS_RSH as D:\ssh\plink or the cvs will complain "cannot start server via rsh: No such file or directory". And of cause you can let the D:\ssh as part of the PATH variable, so just set CVS_RSH as plink will work find also.
4. finally, use cvs -d :ext:... to work!
