[Bf-committers] cvs problems

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

We moved to ssh (secure shell) for access to cvs. This also means you  
need to remove CVSROOT files in your code, or do a fresh checkout  
logged in as user (not anonymous).

Hints for how to remove CVSROOT I cannot quickly give (apart from in  
unix console), dunno what kind of tool you have for cvs... but you can  
easily get support on that via IRC. I'm also pretty sure Nathan has  
more answers here!
