[Buildbot-devel] CVS_RSH environment variable

[John Pye]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble connecting to sourceforge's CVS server with BuildBot. 
The CVS_RSH variable seems not to get getting through to the buildslave. 
When I log in as buildslave, I can see that env|grep CVS_RSH shows the 
right thing. But when Buildbot attempts to check out the code, you will 
see that the CVS_RSH environment variable isn't there.

What is the right way to pass variables to the step.CVS environment?

This went wrong after I renamed an existing build target. Before that it 
was working.

cvs -d :ext:XXXXX at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freesteam -z3 checkout -d build -r HEAD freesteam
 in dir /home/buildslave/slave/freesteam-tests (timeout 1200 secs)
 argv: ['cvs', '-d', ':ext:XXXX at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freesteam', '-z3', 'checkout', '-d', 'build', '-r', 'HEAD', 'freesteam']
 environment: {'MAILTO': 'john.pye at XXXXXXXXXXXX', 'SHELL': '/bin/sh', 'SHLVL': '1', 'PWD': '/home/buildslave', 'LOGNAME': 'buildslave', 'USER': 'buildslave', 'PATH': '/usr/bin:/bin', 'HOME': '/home/buildslave', '_': '/usr/bin/buildbot'}
cvs.sourceforge.net: Connection timed out
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)


Any ideas?

Cheers
JP
