[MITgcm-support] Still more brokeness

[Alistair Adcroft]

Ye, I know but in the past I avoided using ssh from the LCS machine for
simple speed reasons. I often check out new working directories for testing
purposes and it makes a huge difference by doing direct repository access.

Right now, the pressing issue is that it is a real pain to convert existing
working directories and I have several of them.

Hi Alistair,

You could do your cvs over ssh:

  bash:
    export CVS_RSH=ssh
    export CVSROOT=':ext:auden.lcs.mit.edu:/u/u3/gcmpack'

  csh:
    setenv CVS_RSH ssh
    setenv CVSROOT :ext:auden.lcs.mit.edu:/u/u3/gcmpack


which is working nicely for me--esp. on forge which can't currently mount
/u/u3.
