Hi,
Just to let you know, cvs.moodle.org is moving to a new server today (from 74.54.45.50 to 174.123.154.58), and you might see some "WARNING: POSSIBLE DNS SPOOFING DETECTED!" warnings from ssh because the IP number has changed.
Fear not, it's a legitimate move.
To fix the warnings, just delete your local copy of the host key and re-connect.
Cheers,
Martin
Probably completely unnecessary to post this here, but to take the wrong key out of your .ssh/known_hosts file, you can use the ssh-keygen -R cvs.moodle.org -command in your *nix environment.
When you perform a new cvs update, you will be asked to approve the new key for cvs.moodle.org and to add it to your .ssh/known_hosts again.

Hi,
I don't know if the problem is on the cvs server or in my local mac .... as I understand the hint it should be a problem on the cvs server.
When I try to update my Moodle4Mac via anonymous cvs I get the following error message:
+--------------------------------------------+
| CVS update for your local Moodle4Mac
+--------------------------------------------+
CVS password is empty ... please only press to start Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@uk.cvs.moodle.org:2401/cvsroot/moodle CVS password: Connecting to the CVS server. Download will take a few moments! If the CVS update runs too long you may break with <strg>-C ? config.php cannot create_adm_p /tmp/cvs-serv23407/admin Permission denied logout [Prozess beendet]Searching 'cvs' and 'cannot create_adm_p' with Google I found some interesting facts.
> cannot create_adm_p /tmp/cvs-serv17258/Cmd
> Permission denied
The most common source of that error is a missing CVSROOT/Emptydir directory and lack of permission to create it. The simplest fix is to run "cvs init" as a user who has write permission in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT.
(It's safe to run init on an existing repository -- it preserves all the existing stuff and just creates anything that's missing.)
Could anybody help?

Same with me.
Today (23/10) eu.cvs.moodle.org is still offering '1.9.5+ (Build: 20091014)' whereas uk.cvs.moodle.org is at '1.9.6 (Build: 20091021)'.
Strange that is it not labeled 1.9.6+ as per the main download page, but the build date match...
Cheers.

Replying to my own request, I looked into this and it is not a trivial task as cvs stores the informaton about the repository in each directory.
However, I did download the scripts found at http://www.solarorange.com/docs/cvs/repositorymove.html and ran the bash command provided using:
./changeroot.sh :pserver:anonymous@us.cvs.moodle.org:/cvsroot/moodleI then ran cvs update, and I am now updated to 1.9.6. The custom code on our machine was preserved.I would only use the above with extreme caution on a test machine using backed up scripts. But at least one knows the steps involved if one ever needs to do it.
I would be interested in that info if anyone has it, specifically for changing repository with TortoiseCVS on windows Server 2003 - Or is it just a case of RTFM?
Tim - I hope I didn't appear to assign responsibility to you - I understand. We only have (miniscule compared to the OU) 15,000 or so learners ourselves and I know how long it can take our network guys to turn around a job.
The instructions on how to switch servers are already available on docs.moodle.org. Check out:

Hi Chris,
See CVS_for_Administrators#Switching_to_a_new_CVS_server which cites http://www.tortoisecvs.org/faq.html#changecvsroot
Unfortunately it's not trivial.

[edit] : trouble is than uk.cvs uses dates tags labelled as $Id: block.php,v 1.18.4.2 2008/04/02 06:09:57 whereas eu.cvs uses $Id: block.php,v 1.18.4.2 2008-04-02 06:09:57.
So it ruins all our scripts that rely on diff to check for updates in core code ...
So, please admins of eu.cvs.moodle.org, do something
