[Devel] CVS server transfer completed

Hello,

  The CVS transfer is now completed, and the IP address of
  cvs.freetype.org has been changed from 195.154.213.65 to
  193.251.34.63.

  in order to avoid problems during the propagation of the
  IP address change throughout DNS servers, the old CVS
  server is still up and running, but doesn't provide
  write access. Anonymous CVS access is thus still
  available..

  For those with write access, it's possible to use the
  new server, right now with two methods:

     - use the address "ftp.freetype.org" instead of
       "cvs.freetype.org" in your CVSROOT. Login
       to the server, check out the module you want to
       modify, apply your changes, then commit..

     - for more advanced users, modify your /etc/hosts
       file to translate a cvs.freetype.org directly
       to 193.251.34.63

       note that on Windows 95/98, it's possible to
       do the following too:

        * copy the file C:\Windows\HOSTS.SAM to
          C:\Windows\HOSTS

        * add the following line to C:\Windows\HOSTS:

           193.251.34.63    cvs.freetype.org

        * restart Windows 98

       this method bypasses the DNS and allows you to
       work directly with the new server. Note that you'll
       probably need to remove your change when your
       DNS servers have been updated..

  And by the way, ViewCVS is back at:

      http://www.freetype.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi
