Changing CVS Root on an Existing Module
If you’re like me, you use CVS for version control. If you’re even more like me, you’ve got the repository set up on your home machine, which accesses the internet via a cable modem. And of course, every once in a great while, your IP address changes, which wreaks havoc on your checked out modules. You could check the module out again with the correct CVS_ROOT environment variable, you could manually change the URL in every CVS/Root file, or you could write a perl script named updateCVS.pl and use it via find on the command line as such:
cd your/module/root/; find . -name 'Root' -exec perl updateCVS.pl {} \;#!/usr/bin/perl -w
my $file = shift;
my $content = "";
open (FILE, $file) || die "Can't open $file: $!\n";
while (<FILE>)
{
s/OLD\.URL/NEW\.URL/g;
$content .= "$_";
}
close(FILE);
open (FILE, ">$file") || die "Can't open $file: $!\n";
print FILE $content;
close(FILE);01/06/05 11:36AM Geekiness
