Generating and sending ssh keys: Typing your account's password each time you want to access CVS is not very convenient. Instead you can send a ssh key. To generate it use the following command:
ssh-keygen -t rsa
or ssh-keygen -t rsa -f yourfile
NOTE: When it asks for password you may leave it empty. Now, if you are using openssh, you have to convert your public key into ssh.com format, since MPlayer's server uses this ssh implementation. You can do this simply by executing:
ssh-keygen -e -f yourkey.pub > yourkey_ssh2.pub
NOTE: Replace 'yourkey' with a filename proper for you (the file can be found in ~/.ssh directory).
and the default one is ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Mail yourkey_ssh2.pub to Arpi <arpi at mplayer.hq.hu> and, please, be patient. As soon as it is installed, you will no longer need to type any password.
Also, if you have provided a different filename for the key, SSH (and thus CVS) won't recognize it. You have to add following to ~/.ssh/config then: host mplayerhq.hu IdentityFile yourfile
I'd also mention than the comment can be changed without any regards and is irrevelant (so i.e. nobody gets scared because it's invalid email adress or so).
