How do I connect to the OpenOffice.org CVS?

  1. After you establish a tunnel, open a second terminal. You will not work in the terminal where you established the tunnel. Minimize that first terminal, and use it to close the tunnel when you are done moving files to or from the site.
  2. Type pwd to verify that you are in your home directory.
  3. Type cvs -d :pserver:[username]@localhost:/cvs login to log into the CVS, where [username] is your login name for the OpenOffice.org web site. This login step only needs to be done the first time you do work at a project.

Once you are logged in, you can begin your work in CVS. When you are done with work in this second terminal window, you can close it by typing exit or cvs logout at the command prompt. Then close the first terminal (or the SSH tunnel) by pressing the control and c keys at the same time. This key combination is called control-c and is often written as ^C.
