I have installed the CVS client. I have add my cvsdir to PATH variable. When i run the command:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/zeoslib checkout zeosdbo_rework

is showed the message:

Error connecting to host cvs.sourceforge.net: Host sconosciuto.
cvs [checkout aborted]: Connection to server failed

I use:

Windows XP Home SP2.

Thanks.

Hi,

I don't know why CVS doesn't work, but the sourceforge CVS isn't updated for a while.

Since a few months the ZEOS dev team has switched the version control to their own SVN server. (SVN, Subversion, is a newer version control system than CVS)
You can access it using a SVN cient, for instance TortoiseSVN (explorer extension for Windows) on this adres : svn://firmos.at/zeos/trunk.

But the development of zeos go on?

I'm trying with TortoiseSVN. Error:

Unknown hostname 'firmos.at'

I think it's a firewall/DNS/network problem. Do you have a dirct connection to the web without firewall in between? I justchecked to be sure the SVN is working. It does. I suppose CVS will work as well. Are some of your network ports blocked??

Now works. But ask to me a username and password.

What action did you take? You should do a checkout. Normally no user or password are needed...
