[Playerstage-developers] CVS changes

[Brian G. <ge...@ro...>]

hi,

Some things have changed wrt CVS at SF.net.  Per the update listed here:
  http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=2352&group_id=1#section1
you can no longer access our repository at 'cvs.playerstage.sourceforge.net,'
but rather have to use 'cvs.sourceforge.net.'

This is why you may recently gotten SSH key-change warnings and an
error like:

   Cannot access /cvsroot/playerstage/CVSROOT
   No such file or directory

If so, then you've been using the longer hostname (as have I), and you
now have to change your CVSROOT environment variable to use the shorter
hostname.

Then you have two options regarding working copies already checked out from
the project repository:

 (1) Delete your working copies and check out fresh ones.

 (2) Change the CVS/Root files throughout your working copies to use to
     the shorter hostname.

If you take option (2), you might find the shell script appended below
useful.  Change ROOT to use your SF.net username (instead of gerkey), and
then execute it from *within* each P/S/G working copy.  It will change
the Root files for you.  Then 'cvs update' will work as before (assuming
that you've also changed your CVSROOT).

DON'T execute this script from within or above working copies checked out
from other repositories!

No warranties here: changing CVS meta-data files is dicey and may cause
your hair to catch fire.

        brian.
