Cervisia

Cervisia is KDE front-end for CVS.

SSH Troubleshooting

  • Cervia keeps asking the SSH passphrase
    • One need to install package ssh-askpass (or ssh-askpass-gnome) to allow caching of ssh passphrase during a Cervisia session.
    • Check that the remote host is in the list of ~/.ssh/known_hosts. If not, open a shell terminal, and connects to remote host with ssh to add it.
