[Openinteract-dev] change in SF CVS

SF notes:

----------
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.
----------

This means if you try to update CVS that was checked out from 
'cvs.spops.sourceforge.net' or 'cvs.openinteract.sourceforge.net' 
you'll see something like:

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

There are two ways to fix this:

(1) Just check out the code again, probably the easiest way.
(2) Modify the 'Root' file in all the CVS directories to refer to 
'cvs.sourceforge.net' instead of the old host. Strangely enough, you 
can use Perl to do this...

I have a script to do (2) if anyone is interested.
