[cvsnt] Re: Recommendations for Moving Servers

[Siegfried Heintze]

I looked at cvsnt.org for the wiki but could not find it. Could someone
point me to it?

Also: do I copy the repositories first and then run the service control
panel or vice versa?

Thanks,
Siegfried

Should work fine.  I think there's a wiki article about moving 
repositories, but I don't recall the specifics.

No, just a PITA for you.  You can use a bulk file editor to search for 
the CVS\Root files in your sandboxes and change them to point to the new 
server name.  There's also a macro in WinCVS to do that.
