[Biojava-l] Biojava CVS and SSH

[Chris Dagdigian]

Glad you got things working, at my old job I was never able to get things 
to work from behind a corporate firewall...

As Jason and Thomas have pointed out we don't allow 'pserver' access to 
biojava.org. The main reason for this is that I don't trust CVS to be all 
that secure and I don't want a pserver daemon running on our production 
server.

This was basically the whole reason for setting up a standalone anonymous 
cvs server at cvs.bioperl.org. People with accounts on bioperl.org can use 
CVS via SSH and those who don't have developer accounts can get full blown 
(read only) access to the source code via the anon box which is set up in a 
way that minimizes damage to us if there is a remotely exploitable hole in 
the pserver protocol.
