I'm seeing the same errors as Victor: checking on sourceforge I see :
( 2004-04-29 14:11:35 - Project CVS Service ) As of 2004-04-28 the CVS services will no longer function with the hostname of cvs.PROJECTNAME.sourceforge.net. You should change your CVS commands to use the host cvs.sourceforge.net and that should resolve any outstanding issues that you may have. This issue came about as a result of upgrading from BIND 8 to BIND 9 which doesn't allow for a wildcard in the middle of a hostname.
Which I think is the problem, unfortunately I think this also breaks my existing working copy completely, because the hostname is coded inside the CVS project files all over the place isn't it?
Yes, but that's easy to fix (on unix-like systems): CVSROOT=":pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost" find . -name CVS -type d | while read dir; do test -f $dir/Root && echo "$CVSROOT" > $dir/Root done Setting CVSROOT as appropriate, and possibly doing a "cvs login" again if you're using anon :pserver: access. jon -- "Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform." - Mark Twain
