Create the ssh details for the build server:

mkdir -p ~/.ssh
nano ~/.ssh/config

Host  shell.koozali.org
User  brianr
Port  222
IdentityFile /home/brianr/.ssh/smeserver-buildsys
ForwardAgent yes

Make Sure your public and private keys are syncronised onto the build server (I just copied the key files to the rocky server from my Centos 7 server).

Then pull in the complete Contribs tree

cvs -z3 -d:ext:shell.koozali.org:/cvs/smeserver co -P rpms
