[abc] New Musketeer

Comrades-in-arms,

I have replaced the old and failing musketeer box with a spanky new one.
I've copied all home directories and as much as possible of the old
configuration across, so things should be almost seamless. If they're
not, bug me on IRC -- I should be able to fix them pretty quickly.

The only thing that isn't seamless (on purpose) is CVS. A while ago the
repository on musketeer migrated from /mnt/msproj/shared/cvs to
/srv/cvs. The old directory was kept alive for compatibility. It was
decided to drop this meaningless path now, so it hasn't been restored on
the new machine.

To convert your CVS checkouts, use the following command (in the root of
the CVS tree, preferably):

for f in `find . -name Root` ; do sed -i -e
's|/mnt/msproj/shared/cvs|/srv/cvs|' $f ; done

(This works for me, but if you have an older version of sed, you can use
the more "failsafe" command

for f in `find . -name Root` ; do echo
":extssh:musketeer.comlab.ox.ac.uk:/srv/cvs" > $f ; done

which just requires bash, but will clobber non-musketeer CVS roots that
you run it over.)

Everything else should Just Work (tm). Once again -- let me know of any
irregularities asap.

Cheers,
- P
