Description jerome 2001-04-23 10:44:29 UTC 
Our development environment is set up with a CVS server running on a non-
conventional CVS port (2501 instead of 2401). No such configuration options 
exists within the IDE per se. Also looked about in 
$NETBEANS_HOME/modules/cvs.jar to determine if there wasn't a way to 
reconfigure a property file, or some configuration, or environment variable, in 
order to make the CVS client use an alternate port. Unfortunately did not find 
such a facility. Therefore, unless I have missed something, I would like to 
register my interest in this minor, yet critical, enhancement.

recategorising - this is a NB CVS issue, not netbeans.org CVS issue.
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2001-04-26 09:42:41 UTC 
Setting the Target Milestone to 3.3. There should be made a tab in CVS
Customizer for all CVS-related environmental variables.
Comment 3 Jesse Glick 2001-04-27 12:46:20 UTC 
Fixing QA contact.

Note that regular commandline CVS does not support alternate ports without
recompiling, so I am not sure how legitimate a request this is. For javacvs, I
guess you may as well do it. For vcscvs, I don't think it's possible.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2001-04-27 12:46:57 UTC 
Doh, changing assignee too!
Comment 5 Martin Entlicher 2001-04-27 13:50:22 UTC 
Well, I can add all env. variables listed in
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_19.html#SEC178
to the CVS Customizer. There is a variable CVS_RCMD_PORT, which can hopefully do
the job, but probably not for Unix clients.
However you can make it work now by setting this env. variable before running
the IDE.
Comment 6 Martin Entlicher 2001-05-03 22:27:22 UTC 
Moving to vcscvs, since this is a problem of CVS support.
Comment 7 Milos Kleint 2001-05-07 09:43:00 UTC 
I've added an expert property "pserver port" to the built-in filesystem. You 
should be able to set your port to whatever you want. However there might be 
problems with the mounting of the filesystem. 
If it doesn't let you mount the filesystem (because you are not logged-in yet), 
set the fs to off-line mode and run the filesystem's customizer later to login 
to the server on the new port (needs to be set before logging-in and can be set 
at the property sheet for the filesystem - expert tab)

Should be working in development build #183
Comment 8 Martin Entlicher 2001-08-28 09:12:34 UTC 
You can now set CVS_CLIENT_PORT environment variable in the
Environment tab in the Generic VCS Customizer.
Comment 9 dmladek 2001-10-26 18:06:04 UTC 
Hi Jerome,

now, bouth types of CVS FS have the possibility to configure them tu work on alternative port.

We'll apreceate very much if you tell us how it works for you.

Thanks
