Description uhei 2010-05-05 14:39:01 UTC 
Version:           4.0.0 (using KDevPlatform 1.0.0) (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2) "release 231", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop

In my .bashrc I have a line CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh because the repository I mainly work with is not accessible via rsh. Nevertheless, when working on the code with kdevelop4 and trying e.g. a "cvs update" via the context menu in the project tree, the launched cvs command tries to use rsh for contacting the remote server (as verified by pstree).
Cervisia, on the hand, correctly uses ssh on the same local tree.

echo $CVS_RSH in the embedded konsole window shows that the environment variable appears to be available to the subprocesses in principle.

generally we don't support ssh-access to repositories currently.
Comment 2 Francis Herne 2020-08-18 18:21:13 UTC 
The CVS plugin was removed in KDevelop 5.3 because it was unmaintained and didn't work in most cases.
