Sysadmins, cannot do anything with the policy of the company.  But I
am still trying to figure out a way to use savannah.  I have installed
cygwin, and the proxytunnel tool.  

$ cat ~/.ssh/config
Host subversions.gnu.org
  Protocol 1
  ProxyCommand /usr/local/bin/proxytunnel.exe -g 172.16.0.52 -G 80 -d 
subversions.gnu.org -D 443

$ export CVS_RSH=ssh
$ cvs -z3 address@hidden:443/cvsroot/ferment co ferment
cvs checkout: CVSROOT port specification is only valid for gserver, kserver,
cvs checkout: and pserver connection methods.
cvs [checkout aborted]: Bad CVSROOT: address@hidden:443/cvsroot/
ferment'.
$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:address@hidden:443/cvsroot/ferment co ferm
ent
cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to subversions.gnu.org(199.232.41.2):443 failed:
 Connection timed out
$ exit

I am more hopeful now!  From this point forward, how should I go about
it.  I am not sure why :pserver: times out.  And I don't know who says
that CVSROOT port specification is only valid for gserver, kserver,
and pserver connection methods.

Any help?

Rgds,
anna

Pth is a very portable POSIX/ANSI-C based library for Unix platforms
which provides non-preemptive priority-based scheduling for multiple
threads of execution (aka ``multithreading'') inside event-driven
applications.
