[vtkusers] VTK From CVS Please...

[Nigel Nunn]

Hi Andrew (and Andrea and Kitware),

Thanks for your suggestion.  However, those of us that cannot
access CVS are most likely not in a position to tunnel through
our corporate firewalls.  I think this may be a common problem.

Is it possible for more regular CVS snapshots (e.g. once
per week, when dashboards look good) to be zipped up and
made available to those of us unable to retrieve via CVS?

That would be a great help!
Nigel

On XP, I use a program called putty. Essentially, you set up
an ssh link to the computer that is the gateway and has ports
open to the outside wall. You then create port forwarding in
the setup. I have a local port 2401 (this can be any unused port)
that is forwarded to public.kitware.com:2401

Then modify the vtk cvs commands to the following:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at localhost:/cvsroot/VTK
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at localhost:/cvsroot/VTK checkout VTK > CVS_vtk.log

Obviously your computer and gateway computer must be able to
run ssh.  Consider installing cygwin on the XP machine to get
ssh. You must also have an account on the gateway computer.

Hope this helps.
Andrew

Hello NG,

finally I got VTK 4.4 working (at home) using CMake and MSVC.
Now I would like to do the same here at work, by using the VTK
CVS repository (I like the new functionalities in the CVS
"version"). But I'm facing a problem... here at work, I'm behind
a firewall, and it does not let me use the 2401 port (and even
not the 443 port). I've downloaded the very nice WinCVS tool, but
I can not use it. I also tried the nice solution CVSGrab, here:

http://cvsgrab.sourceforge.net/

But either there is some errors in the cvsgrab.bat file or
I'm not so expert, it's still giving me some Java error. So
I am at the starting point. Just to be shorter than my usual ;-) ,
does anyone have a fresh CVS download to send me (via email)?
I will compile it using my MSVC/CMake here at work.

Thank you a lot.

Andrea.
