[Xastir-dev] CVS broken big-time

[Curt, WE7U]

SourceForge says this now:

(  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.

In one of the bug reports, a user suggested these fixes:


  Date: 2004-04-29 11:05
  Sender: rurban
  Logged In: YES
  user_id=13755

  this is a temp. workaround, but should work as long as they
  don't install a second cvs server.

  go to your project root dir:

  find -name Root -path \*CVS\* -exec perl -pi.bak -e's/cvs.projectname.sf.net/cvs.sf.net/' \{\} \;

  or simply add the cvs.sf.net IP to your /etc/hosts file as
  your cvs.<projectname>.sf.net entry.
  The first workaround prevents from further ns problems, the
  second will fail, when they move servers around.


Did the DNS problem affect anonymous CVS access as well?  I know
that my developer's CVS is broken.

What should we do to fix this for all the CVS users, if necessary?
Ask them to blow away their Xastir source directories and start
over?
