Hello!

How can I download the files of FreeOrion from cvs.sourceforge.net? I Can't login, but I don't know why. What is the right password?

Code: Select all

D:\Programme\Unsortiert\innocvs055>cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:
/cvsroot/freeorion login
Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/cvsroot/freeorion
CVS password: (anything)
cvs [login aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

D:\Programme\Unsortiert\innocvs055>cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:
/cvsroot/freeorion login
Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/cvsroot/freeorion
CVS password: (cvs)
cvs login: authorization failed: server cvs.sourceforge.net rejected access to /
cvsroot/freeorion for user anonymous

Thanks,
pmw

This should be moved to the help thread.

Just press ENTER for your password, as you don't need one for anonymous access.

If it still doesn't work, it might be worth waiting a few minutes/hours, sometimes sourceforge gets busy or something and public servers aren't available.

I'm not sure exactly what the circumstances are.
