A few days ago Aaron noted that sourceforge has changed their cvs server hostnames, breaking the nightly. I've found a new consequence that may affect others.
I am behind a corporate firewall which prevents me from being able to use pserver on port 2401. Until a few days ago I was able to use this form
cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:80/cvsroot/mpiblast login
to avoid the problem. With the new cvs architecture I am unable to find anything comparable, even ssh logins no longer seem to work for me ?!
Sourceforge has advised that most folks will have to checkout new repositories, which is likely to be a pain for many users. To see if you are affected try to 'cvs update' for any current checkouts you may have. Likely this won't work, next try a fresh checkout using your usual -d string, but the new hostname mpiblast.cvs.sourceforge.net.
Svn is a cvs replacement which sourceforge now supports. It does not need the pserver, since it has an http interface listening on port 80.

If the mpiblast project switches to svn the firewall issue would become moot, while offering the general improvements of svn over cvs. If there are no objections an mpiblast admin would need to follow these steps
Import from SF.net CVS Repository:
- Backup your repository.
- Login to the SourceForge.net website.
- Go to the project summary page (https://www.sf.net/projects/PROJECTNAME).
- Click on the 'Admin' link.
- Click on the 'Subversion' admin page link.
- Click on the 'migrate' link on the 'Migration Instructions' section of the page.
- Click on the 'SourceForge.net CVS Repository' radio button.
- Check the 'Replace' check box in the same column, if you wish to replace the existing content with the new content to be added.
- Enter the value you want passed to the --parent-dir argument of the "svnadmin load" command into the 'Destination' field. For most users, this would be left blank.
- Click on the 'Submit' button.
- The migration will be finished within 24 hours. It could be finished in as soon as an hour or two, depending on the size of your CVS repository and the number of projects queued for migration in front of yours. Returning to the page will display whether it completed, failed or is still in queue.
