When SourceForge repaired CVS most recently, they also changed the server names. Yes, this also happened in 2004:
in 2004: cvs.<project>.(sourceforge|sf).net -> cvs.(sourceforge|sf).net
in 2006: cvs.(sourceforge|sf).net -> <project>.cvs.(sourceforge|sf).net
If you have Unix tools available, the following at the root of your working copy will reset the server identity:
find /projects/boost-cvs -name Root -exec sed -i -e \ s/cvs[.]s.*[.]net/boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/ \{} \;
This is not the first time SF changes the host :/ This little trick turned out to be very helpful for me, so I thought I should share it. Developers using cvs over OpenSSH might want to prefer to use an alias name for the host and to adjust their .ssh/config whenever SF comes up with a new idea for the hostname to use. E.g. I have this in my .ssh/config: Host boost Hostname boost.cvs.sourceforge.net Compression yes ForwardX11 no ForwardAgent no I check stuff out using 'boost' as hostname. Whenever SF decides on a new hostname I simply change the second line of the configuration snippet accordingly. That way, I don't have to fiddle with files in the CVS subdirectories. (Another idea would be to add an alias name to /etc/hosts or to create a DNS CNAME entry. This works, too, but it requires deleting some entries in .ssh/know_hosts) Regards, m Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
