[Biococoa-dev] CVS from XCode [solved]

[Alexander Griekspoor]

I'm so ashamed!
I was looking around for help on the web to get my XCode working. So  
the obvious thing to do was Googling.
- Hey, someone knows how....
- An email from a certain Jim Balhoff, hmmm rings a bell doesn't it?
- Hey, it from the BioCocoa archives!
- Hey, it's directed to me ;-)
- OOPS!

There is another way to do this, which works very well.  Use SSHPassKey  
to store your password in the Mac OS X keychain.  It can be configured  
so that Xcode will use this to get the cvs password (you don't need to  
install the Project Builder plug-in mentioned in the ReadMe).  Look  
here:

That did the trick indeed. The things I did to make XCode work with  
BioInformatics CVS:
1 Download the program Jim pointed me to:  
http://www.codefab.com/unsupported/SSHPassKey_v1.1-1.dmg
2 Copy the app to your applications folder and run it
3 Click "Configure Login Environment to use SSHPassKey
4 Log off and back in
5 Open terminal and set the environment variables and your loginname:
	For Bash:
	export CVS_RSH='ssh'
	export CVSROOT=':ext:loginname at bioinformatics.org:/cvsroot'

	For Tsch:
	setenv CVS_RSH 'ssh'
	setenv CVSROOT ':ext:loginname at bioinformatics.org:/cvsroot'
6 Do a checkout:
	 cvs checkout BioCocoa
	your password will be asked (and stored by SSHPassKey in the keychain)
7 Open the project in Xcode and then follow the steps in this documents:
	http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/ 
Xcode_SCM/
8 SSHPassKey will ask you for your password now instead of XCode.

That should do it!!
Thanks a lot Jim, sorry for not recognizing your hints earlier...
Cheers,
Alex

Windows is a 32-bit patch to a 16-bit shell for an 8-bit
operating system, written for a 4-bit processor by a 2-
bit company without 1 bit of sense.
