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/ \{} \; and this is the formula for the sandbox find /projects/boost-cvs -name Root -exec sed -i -e \ s/cvs[.]s.*[.]net/boost-sandbox.cvs.sourceforge.net/ \{} \; -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

On at least one shell (zsh), both of the curly braces need escaping. Try using "\{\}" instead of "\{}" if your shell barfs on Dave's commands above. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com

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

s/host/hosts/. In fairness: Such changes are unavoidable when dealing with hundreds of thousands of projects / repositories. Regards, Stefan

In future, just go to the SF tracker and report it there. It will save everyone time and bandwidth. Hopefully we'll move to SVN soon and this will be a non-issue. Thanks. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

The links on: http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#CVS and: http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#sandbox need changing. I'll be happy to do it, but I tried: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost/boost/ --> http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost/boost/ and I got: An Exception Has Occurred The root "cgi-bin" is unknown. If you believe the value is correct, then please double-check your configuration. However, eliminating the cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi seems to work. IOW: http://boost.cvs.sourceforge.net/boost/boost/ works for me. If that change is acceptable, I'll do it ( I'm pretty sure I have write access to /more ).

Did; however, changing boost.cvs didn't change (after 37 hrs.) http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm. I don't know how to change or even if I can change this.

What's up with the double slash? ssh david_abrahams@shell.sf.net "ls -l /home/groups/b/bo/boost/htdocs/more/getting_started.html" shows: -rw-rw-r-- 1 dgregor boost 48129 Nov 23 06:09 getting_started.html So you should have write permission.
