Using a passwordless cvs connection
If you have cvs write access ( by having asked for a good reason to <cvs at mandriva.com> ), you can use an ssh connection to not type your password each time you do diff or a checkout.
To add your ssh identity, to your account on cvs.mandriva.com, you have to use the following command:
ssh <your_login>@cvs.mandriva.com update-ssh-key < <your public key>
Then you can use your account without password for example to checkout the po module like this:
cvs -d <your_login>@cvs.mandriva.com:/cooker co po
And if you need to change your password on the cvs server, use (don't forget the -t):
ssh -t <your_login>@cvs.mandriva.com passwd
