New problems with CVSup. We should all upgrade asap, though I'm not sure
of the current status of builds for non-FreeBSD machines. Marc, could we
possibly install this on the postgresql.org machine(s)?

Subject: HEADS UP: CVSup timestamp bug


This morning a bug was discovered in most versions of CVSup up to
and including SNAP_16_1c.  The bug causes all newly-updated files to
receive incorrect timestamps.  Usually the files receive timestamps
from early in 1970.  This bug has been present for a very long time,
but it only began to have an effect when the Unix representation of
the date and time passed 1,000,000,000.  That occurred on 9 September
2001 at 01:46:40 UTC.  Yes, other people had Y2K bugs, but I managed
to produce an S1G bug.

I have fixed the bug and have released a new snapshot of CVSup,
SNAP_16_1d.  I have also created binary packages for FreeBSD-4.x which
can be installed using "pkg_add".  For information about updating your
CVSup installation, look here:

    http://people.freebsd.org/~jdp/s1g/

To fix the bug, both the client and the server need to be upgraded to
SNAP_16_1d.  The FreeBSD mirror site maintainers have been working
feverishly to upgrade their installations.  Many of them are already
upgraded, and the rest will be upgraded soon.  Meanwhile, all CVSup
users should upgrade their CVSup installations.

I apologize for the inconvenience caused by this bug, and thank you
in advance for your patience.

Got it upgraded on the cvsup.postgresql.org server ... still have to do
the other servers ...

I'm hopelessly confused on what servers we have, and whether that one is
new, old, online, offline, being built, or being decommissioned. Can I
use this machine (or virtual machine) for cvsup now?

yes, but due to the CVSROOT move yesterday, its only as current as before
the move ... I just have to change around its pointers this morning ...

Right now, we have:

anoncvs.postgresql.org
	== cvsup.postgresql.org
		- same machine, brand new
cvs.postgresql.org
	== www.postgresql.org
	== mail.postgresql.org
	== ssh/login server
		- same machine

rsync.postgresql.org
	== ftp.postgresql.org
	== primary www server
		- old server, slowly being migrated between the above two
		  machines (rsync -> anoncvs, ftp/primary -> cvs)

I am still unable to update my cvs tree!  What server, username, password,
cvsroot and module do I need to use?

Thanks,

Chris

OK, these are three *physically distinct* machines with some aliases
attached to them? Or are virtual hosts involved too?? I need a site map
from someone since nothing but my home directory is in the place they
used to be (actually, even that moved but I *do* know how to find my
home directory ;). I've found some stuff, but no doc areas and no ftp
areas.

Help!! (At your convenience, of course; I *know* you are doing a lot of
work on this ;)
