[cvsnt] protocol_map.ini no longer supported?

[Daniel Krügler]

Hello,

I'm using the recently recommended version cvsnt 2.5.03.2382.
I need to map the protocol type "extssh" and therefore tried
to use protocol_map.ini, because of the error message

"the :extssh: access method is not available on this system"

Doing this I stumbled across two problems:

1) The state of the file obviously does not reflect the current 
implementation state, e.g. there exists the mapping

gserver = gserver_protocol.dll

but there is no gserver_protocol.dll any more. In contrast, those
protocol dll's have moved into a separate directory "protocols".
So how should be the adapted mapping syntax?

2) Going into the same line, I also found that extssh was already
mapped as

extssh = ssh_protocol.dll

which does not work according to reasons explained in (1)

I also noted that there was a careful analysis of this problem
by Gernot Hüller found at:

http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2007-March/028600.html

Unfortunatly it seems that this message was not taken into the
account (i.e. it did not become part of the bug tracking system,
at least I could not find it in the existing bug list).

I would appreciate, if someone could

(a) put this error into the bug database
(b) if possible: can anyone describe a simple workaround for this
problem?(*) Maybe I used the wrong syntax to define the mapping?

I tried both of

extssh = protocols/ssh.dll

and

extssh = protocols\ssh.dll

but was not successful.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel Krügler

(*) Changing the protocol type inside the .cvs/root file is *not*
an option for me, because I use this via two different clients.
