Hi folks,
I am trying to download the latest GIFT from Savannah. I haven't done
this for quite a while, and it seems not to be working. Following the
instructions on the web page, I do:
>set CVS_RSH="ssh"
>cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gift co gift
It just hangs. No prompt. Nothing written to the directory. When I hit
^C, I get:

Hi, David,
Thanks for giving it a try.
I tried it after the FSF security problems (these were fixed in
december 2003, so I tried somewhere in january 2004). The thing to
make sure when getting things from CVS is to make sure that you're
using version 2 of the SSH protocol. This can be done by an entry in
ssh_config.
Hi Wolfgang,
No luck, I'm afraid.
My ~/.ssh/config now contains the line:
Protocol 2,1
But this seems not to have helped. I now have:
>set CVS_RSH="ssh"
>cvs -t -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gift co gift
-> main loop with CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gift
-> Starting server: rsh savannah.gnu.org -l anoncvs cvs server
cvs [checkout aborted]: received interrupt signal
-> Lock_Cleanup()
Again, it just hangs. I wonder if this has something to do with a
proxy? Do you know what port this uses?
