I used Cervisia in Mandrivalinux so (as you see I am changing to kubuntu)
yesterday I installed Cervisia in Kubuntu and it works without problems.
I donwloaded the gretl tree using the "anonymous" user, as indicated in the
sourceforge instructions (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=36234 ), the
commands were:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@gretl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gretl login
(press the enter key)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@gretl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gretl co -P
gretl
Once you have downloaded the tree, you may use Cervisia, for example opening
your home directory with konqueror and right-clicking the gretl directory
downloaded and selecting "open with Cervisia".
Yeah, that had worked for me, too. But now I wanted to do commits as
well, using ssh and the sourceforge key. That's where the real trouble
started...
I'm not doubting it can be done. But if the learning effort is
comparable to (or even greater than!) doing the command-line stuff, I'm
asking myself what's the use of this GUI. As I said, with WinCVS it was
more or less ok (although it wasn't pretty).
