All developers should switch to using the cvs.moodle.org alias

 Description  « Hide
Use cvs.moodle.org as the address of the CVS server. Currently this is an alias pointing to Sourceforge so it's effectively the same as always. The difference is that I can change this alias in future to a new server anytime and you should experience minimal disruption.

Switching CVS servers is very easy on Linux, just run this in the main Moodle directory to edit all your Root files:

find . -type f -name Root -print0 | xargs -0 perl -pi -e 's/\@moodle\.cvs\.sourceforge\.net/\@cvs\.moodle\.org/'

For Tortoise on Windows do something like http://www.tortoisecvs.org/faq.html#changecvsroot ... ie:

1) Install WinCVS and launch it.
2) Navigate to and select your Moodle folder.
3) Choose 'Macros'->CVS->Change Root from the menu.
4) Accept (or change) the default for the 'old' server.
5) Type cvs.moodle.org as the new server and click OK!

People will of course have to update their ~/.ssh/known_hosts also when the server changes

Normally you just need to hit return though

Before hitting return, I'd like to know the host key fingerprint first . Trusting unknown hosts keys is not something I'd do easily.

Just publish the host key fingerprint in a well-know place and everyone will be happy (those who don't care and those who do like me).

Saludos. Iñaki.

OK, well, for now it's the same one as moodle.cvs.sourceforge.net of course (and I'll post the new one when we move):
