Hi all -

If you’re having trouble committing to a RubyForge svn/cvs repo this  
morning, it may be because the DNS change may not have propagated  
everywhere  
yet, and I renamed the repo directories on the old machine to prevent  
commits from being lost. So to accomodate this, if [rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org) still  
resolves to 205.234.109.18 for you, you may want to add a hosts file  
entry  
to point it to the new address - 205.234.109.19.

Yours,

Tom

When I ping it I see 205.234.109.19, but I still see the maintenance  
page when I point at it with my web browser. I cleaned out temp files,  
cookies, history, etc. Still no joy.

Perhaps an automatic redirect could be done?

Regards,

Dan

Or clean your DNS cache? On Windows it’s ipconfig /flushdns (needs Admin  
priviliges).

I don’t know about the \*nix variant, though, but I guess it can be found  
in  
man ifconfig.
