Re: Changed IP of cvs server,then it can't update !

[Jason Brown]

?  I've had to deal with this rather regularly as a result of changing ip 
addresses without a good hostname to checkout from.  It seemed annoying, but 
not difficult to work with...I'm sure it would only take two minutes to write 
a shellscript to handle it.

cp YourWorkingDirectory/CVS/Root /tmp/Root
vim /tmp/Root  
#Change the file appropriately...to point to correct IP or URL
find ./ -name Root -exec cp /tmp/Root {} \; 
#Run above from root of working directory

If I've been doing something horribly wrong here (other than having a 
repository running off of DHCP ...there was no way around *that* 
unfortunately), or there is an existing tool for this, somebody please tell 
me.  It would be quite bad if I had somehow risked corruption of the working 
copy I had done this for.

Regards,

-Jason-
