pserver being disabled for website CVS

On Monday, January 30th, 2006, we’ll be disabling pserver access to the website CVS repository, just like we did for the source code repository a couple years ago. This means from that point onward, you will need an ssh key to be able to check into the website using a CVS client. You will still be able to use Doctor with your password (it’ll be requiring SSL [https] soon).

There are 371 active website CVS accounts as of this writing. 111 of you actually already have ssh keys (in most cases because you have commit access to the source tree as well) and may just need to start using it.

In the next week or so, we’ll be emailing instructions to everyone who currently has a website CVS account. So if your CVS account uses an old email address, now would be a good time to get it changed to a current address by filing a bug.
