<p>
Access to the CVS repository of LON-CAPA is available by
<ul>
<li>
<a href="http://zaphod.lite.msu.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/">web</a>
</li>
<li>
CVS command line tools -- submit a help request to the <a href="http://support.lon-capa.org/help/">LON-CAPA support team</a> to request a CVS USERNAME.
<p> The initial CVS commands would be: </p>
<blockquote>
<table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
<tr>
<td>
<pre>
export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:USERNAME@zaphod.lite.msu.edu:/home/cvs
cvs co loncapa
</pre>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
You will be prompted to enter your password each time you issue a cvs command. <br /><br />
A solution to this is to use
<pre>
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
</pre>
to generate public and private keys in ~/.ssh/
<br /><br />
Send the public key (id_dsa.pub) to helpdesk@lon-capa.org so it can be added to the authorized_keys file on zaphod.lite.msu.edu
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</blockquote>
