The release notes of the Project Builder 2.1, states that it now supports integration with CVS through SSH. To activate the support, it says that you must set PBXUseExternalAuthenticationAsSSH default to YES. I assume that means to edit the com.apple.projectbuilder.plist in the ~/Library/Preferences directory. I added the line and tried the value type as boolean and string (both set to YES). Even with the new settings, the CVS integration doesn't seem to work. I can execute CVS commands over SSH via Terminal.app just fine. Has anyone gotten this to work?

I got it to work using the instructions previously posted on this forum. I have to launch Project Builder from the command line in Terminal.app. I still would like to know how to use the new feature of Project Builder though.

The documentation made mention of a need for a .cvspass and unfortuntately I forgot how to create one. Perhaps someone else will come along and enlighten us.

I noticed a similar note about the passphrase. I look at the cvs documentation tonight and see if I can figure it out.

I just use cvs from the CLI. Less bother

The CLI might be the way to go!

SSH Agent might be what you're looking for.
