[svk-devel] Does anyone use svk cvs mirror in Windowssuccessfully?

[Mark Wu]

Hi John:

Thanks, I already try it before. But it did not work under windows. ( But,
it does work under linux) 

So, I just wondering any one make the CVS mirror work under windows before?

Here comes the result, after I install VCP & VCP::Dest:svk

================================
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>svk mirror
cvs::pserver:anonymous:@qcodo
.com:/home/cvs:qcodo //Qcodo
Bad URL passed to RA layer: Unrecognized URL scheme for
'cvs::pserver:anonymous:
@qcodo.com:/home/cvs:qcodo'
================================

No idea what's going ...

I use SVK 2.0 (Kevin's build under win32) + VCP(0.9 from Audrey) +
VCP::Dest:svk ( from CPAN by clkao)
