It's rumoured that Jean-Michel POURE once said: > Le Mercredi 17 D�cembre 2003 10:03, Dave Page a �crit : >> The cvs has now been moved. The new root is: >> :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/projects >> The IP address has also changed but will take a liitle while to work >> it's way around the DNS - it is now 80.176.1.156. >> I have left the old repository in place for now but made it read only, >> primarily to prevent any scripts fouling up. I would suggest that a >> fresh checkout is the easiest way to update to the new root. > > Dear Dave and all,
Hi Jean-Michel, > I was able to make a fresh checkout, but then I could not update my > local CVS tree using the "cvs update -C -P -d" command. > > The error message is: > /disk1/cvsroot: no such repository You didn't do a fresh checkout then as that's not the new root. Change /disk1/cvsroot to /projects and try again. > Looking at my local copy, the CVS folder contains the following entry: > :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/disk1/cvsroot > > It seems that the new server does not have a /disk1 entry. This is a > typical problem with CVS, folders and files cannot be renamed. No, that's why you need to do a fresh checkout from the new repo. > Why not take the opportunity of this migration to use a sophiticated > system like subversion. There are very good subversion Win32 clients > around like http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org Why, what features do we need that CVS lacks?
