VA Linux still hasn't gotten back to me but I figured out what the
problem is and have a work-around. The problem is cvs.mesa3d.org
no longer resolves to the correct IP number! It now resolves to the
same number as www.mesa3d.org (which is not where CVS is).
The real hostname of the Mesa CVS server is ford.on.openprojects.net
(209.81.8.253). The work-around for now is to change your CVSROOT
env var to point to that server.
In my case:
setenv CVSROOT ":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/mesa3d"
Furthermore, you will have to remove any CVS/Root files in your tree
since they'll point to cvs.mesa3d.org and will override CVSROOT.
After you've done that just re-login to CVS. In my case:
cvs login brianp
There might be other work-arounds (like setting cvs.mesa3d.org to
resolve to 209.81.8.253 in your /etc/hosts) but this worked for me.
Sorry about this disruption. I've sent a stern message to VA Linux.
Hopefully cvs.mesa3d.org will have it's IP number fixed soon.
