hi,

while trying to sync qsampler's upstream git to svn, i'm had this
nagging all day long:

svn.linuxsampler.org’s DNS address could not be found.

anyone?

hi,

The problem is that the previous DNS server of the linuxsampler.org domain was
on one of my servers, which does not exist anymore. So right now for some
people *.linuxsampler.org DNS still works due to their local DNS caching, all
other ones fail to resolve any linuxsampler.org DNS entry.

I already have set up a new DNS server as replacement for the old DNS server,
but the registrar entry of the linuxsampler.org domain needs to be updated for
that new DNS server to be used, which I can't do. Only Benno can do that,
since he is the only one who got access to the domain's registrar account.
But ... I can't reach Benno. I am trying for 2 months now.

I will try to contact him once more, but if it doesn't work out soon, then we
need an alternative. For example I still have the opensampler.org domain which
we could switch to. But I hope we can avoid that, since I am not very keen to
update all stuff with new URLs.

As a workaround, simply add the following line to your /etc/hosts file:

193.37.152.153 svn.linuxsampler.org

Ok, I was finally able to get in touch with Benno and we resolved the DNS
issues. So it should work fine for everybody either now already or in max.
couple hours (after the DNS changes propagated throughout all DNS caches on
the net).

So you can now also drop that line again of course.
