Ok, it's broken yet again <sigh> and as Jonathan Wakely <cow@compsoc.man.ac.uk> says (I don't know where he's finding that info, I've been ALL OVER sourceforge.net) the root name is in EVERY directory...it's not a "just change my command line"
Actually, changing my command line is all I needed, even though the "Root" files still have the old host names!
Well of course, if you explicitly stick the CVSROOT in all your command-lines with -dwhatever, you don't need to change the Root files. Most people don't want to type all that.
(Does non-anonymous access make a difference?)
Don't know what that means.
Could please anyone knowing how to solve the problem post a simple procedure? Or should we simply check out a fresh copy of the whole repository?
I'll feel safer doing this anyway.
In bash,
sed -ie 's/cvs.boost.sourceforge.net/cvs.sourceforge.net/' `find . -name Root -path '*/CVS/Root' -print`
worked for me.
It didn't for me, my version of "sed" doesn't have the "-i" option, i.e. no changing in place. (I'm running Mac OS X 10.2.8.) When I removed that option, it printed the changed lines on the screen
Of course it did.
but didn't change the files.
Of course it didn't ;-)
Also, it skipped the "path with spaces" directory we have in CVS. (It mistakenly said "build/x/path" didn't have a match, so your results [of "find"] aren't properly quoted for space-character protection.)
Whoopee! Well, someone else posted an explicit "for" loop to do it. I'm sure you could hack up something more portable based on what I showed above if that won't work for you. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
