Hello,
I installed Hudson in a debian machine and configured a project with SVN over
SSH. This worked like a charm and I had my project in less than 5 minutes.
When I tried to get the same working with CVS + SSH my problems started.
Apparently hudson is installed as a service in debian, which runs with the
hudson user. I tried to configure the .ssh folder in this user's home directory
and add the required keys there to fetch the source from CVS. This got me a bit
further but then the keys needed to be unlocked. I thought of using ssh-agent to
unlock it, but I had no information on the hudson's user password (if there is one).
At this point I quit this approach killed the process and started it with the
following command line under my user account:
java -jar /usr/share/hudson/hudson.war
With my user account as owner of the process the ssh keys are available and
everything works fine.
I suppose there is a better way of doing this but I could not find it. Maybe a
similar approach as we have already for SVN over ssh would be ideal.
Thx and best regards,
Luciana Moreira
The upcoming version (2.1) of cvs-plugin allows users to specify the location of the key file and provide a password for unlocking it.
SSH has been re-enabled in version 2.1 and the GUI provides inputs for public key and password authentication in job setup
We should also allow for CVS plugin to perform variable expansion on "Private Key Location" and "Known Hosts Location". This would be helpful while configuring slaves. This doesnt seem to work currently.
