How to set up a cvs.geeklog.net account

New page

Accounts that provide access to Geeklog's [[Using Mercurial|Mercurial]] repository are given out by invitation (or to [[Google Summer of Code|GSoC students]]). Since the Mercurial repository is hosted on a server sponsored by [http://www.pair.com/ pair Networks], we will have to ask their support to actually create these accounts.

Please note that we're still using <tt>cvs.geeklog.net</tt> for the server name, despite the [http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/geeklog-goes-mercurial switch] from CVS to Mercurial some time ago.

== Login ==

Once you know your account name and initial password, use SSH to log into the server. From the command line, that would be

<pre>ssh username@cvs.geeklog.net</pre>

(replacing 'username' with your provided username, of course)

== Changing the password ==

Use the <tt>passwd</tt> command to change your initial password. Simply enter

<pre>passwd</pre>

and follow the instructions.

Please make sure to remember your new password and/or note it down in a safe place. If you forget your password, we will have to ask pair.com support to reset it.

== Creating a .hgrc file ==

You should create a file named <tt>.hgrc</tt> (with the dot) in your home directory that contains the following lines:

<pre>[trusted]
users = geeklog2
groups = users</pre>

This will ensure, among other things, that notification emails can be sent properly to the <tt>geeklog-cvs</tt> mailing list.

And that's all - there isn't really anything else that you can do with this account.

+Note that Geeklog [http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/geeklog-goes-mercurial switched] from CVS to Mercurial some time ago, but you'll still find the occasional reference to CVS here and there. In most cases, it's just not worth the effort to change it ...
