After wrestling with CVS access to Sourceforge from my Powerbook, I finally hit on the solution -- download the latest version of CVS, and build from sources....

You mean it's not just SF being flaky? I find I usualy have to try CVS things with SF over and over until they work...

I'd like to know what problems you fixed by upgrading.

Thanks.

Ditto John's comment. I'm running 10.3.4 and haven't found any problems accessing/modifying stuff from SourceForge, except for messing with the ssh version number initially.

I was getting two different kinds of errors on the Powerbook, which was at CVS 1.10, while my Debian box at CVS 1.12.8 was working fine. The big error that went away had to do with an unrecognized inflation algorithm when doing a cvs up -n

I downloade the latest sources of cvs-1.11.17, built it under /usr/local/cvs and when I do a cvs --version, it still points to version 1.10, can you post a few steps to make it point to the new version installed?
thanks
