SSH access now required for cvs.gnome.org



As of today, pserver access to cvs.gnome.org is now disabled.

 * If you have committed to GNOME CVS within the last two years
   and did not have a SSH key on file, then you should have received 
   a mail from accounts gnome org about a week ago explaining
   how to provide an SSH key (Subject: SSH key for gnome.org)

 * If you have an SSH key on file (probably because you have
   login access to master.gnome.org), then you should be using
   this for CVS:

   The CVSROOT is:
  
    :ext:<user>@cvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome

   Make sure to set CVS_RSH to ssh.
  
 * If you only use your pserver account on cvs.gnome.org to update
   from CVS, but don't actually commit, then you should switch
   to using anoncvs.gnome.org. The CSVROOT is:
  
    :pserver:anonymous cvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome

   Thanks to Ross Golder, anoncvs.gnome.org now pulls directly off
   of a read-only mount of cvs.gnome.org without any lag compared
   to access to the main repository.

If you need assistance, please contact accounts gnome org

P.S. -

f you have existing trees checked out with pserver you'll need
to check them out again, but if you need to obtain diffs or commit
changes you have in such a tree, as a temporary measure you
can run cvs with the '-d' option to override the CVS root
stored in the tree. For example:

 cvs -d :ext:<user>@cvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome diff -u > /tmp/diff

Another option is the use the changecvsroot.py script that
is distributed with jhbuild:
