I can log successfully into openoffice.org and do a cvs checkout, 
albeit I am using my username and password.
Question:
 is the tunnel set up? CVS is configured so that to checkout you 
must have first a tunnel established. Does anoncvs function 
differently? If it is going in at port 2401, I doubt it. That port has 
been configured, I believe, so that it only pays attention to the 
tunnel.

Try checking out wiith a tunnel established.

2. The box you should be able to checkout from without tunneling 

is anoncvs.openoffice.org

try that.

I think this issue is closed. MH: please reopen if it is not actually 
resolved.
louis
PS:
again: use anoncvs.openoffice.org for non-tunnel co
use cvs.openoffice.org only with tunnel for co & check-in
louis

Ok, now I know more.

1. cvs.openoffice.org is for tunnel access, it's working !

2. If you're not logged in, the help in source cast (e.g projects -> 
api -> source code ) says to 
use :pserver:guest@cvs.openoffice.org:/cvs, there is no hint to 
anoncvs.openoffice.org.

If you try to login into cvs.openoffice.org as described the login 
hangs (of course).

assigning to Louis

accepted. 
MH: I know that there is inconsistent documentation, but thanks 
for pointing this egregious error out. Will change this and also 
instructions for ssh, as soon as I can. 
louis

realized I can't fix this b/c it is a servlet issue and filed a p2 issue (6233) with 
CollabNet internal IssueZilla.

Hi,
is there any possibility to checkout files from the various projects
(e.g. whiteboard or lang) without the need of establishing a tunnel?
Or: When (a rough estimate is enough) will this be available?

I know that one can connect to anoncvs to checkout OO.o sourcecode,
but one doesn't have access to the projects from there.
Do you know about any other workarounds?(I myself have access to cvs
using a ssh-tunnel, but the other volunteers don't)

This isssue is being worked on internally and I have seen proof that work too--it's 
just not resolved yet. But soon.
To co cvs files :
anoncvs@anoncvs.openoffice.org
the error is that "guest" is put in there.
louis

Hi,
but using anoncvs doesn't give me access to the project's files.
If I want to checkout the whiteboard-module (just to give an example)
I must use CVS via a ssh-tunnel, otherwise CVS will hang (That's how
this issue was opend)
I just was hoping that there would be an intermediate solution to this
problem, but it seems that I have to be more patient.
(And I do believe you saying that you're working on it - I didn't mean
to complain, just to make this clear :-)

Christian,
We are working on a version of this problem. Your issue seems to be different.
You *should* be able to checkout, I believe, the specific files to the whiteboard doc 
project using anoncvs--anoncvs@anoncvs.openoffice.org\cvs and then specify the 
module. If it hangs, that is a different issue, and Kat may be able to help you.
This current issue has more to do with updating the template so that erroneous 
information is not represented on it for guest users.
-louis

Christian,

You may checkout specific modules on the anoncvs server by placing an
oo/ before the module name. For example, whiteboard would be
oo/whiteboard instead of just whiteboard as on the main server.

Kat

Kathy,

Thanks alot for your answer. This solves all my problems. Good luck
with resolving the intentional problem.
