Hi all,
I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 on my Athlon XP 1700 desktop at work. I'm
definitely a newbie, but I've read through Dru Lavigne's tutorials at
OnLamp.com
( http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/09/05/FreeBSD_Basics.html )
and with these for a guide I've used CVSup successfully a few times (and also
discovered the joys of compiling a custom kernel and of the "portupgrade"
utility).
After FreeBSD 5.0 was released, though, CVSup no longer terminates but goes on
and on and on for days on end with "inactivity timeout" and "will retry"
messages every 90 minutes or so. I have a pretty fast network connection to
the internet, about 250 kB/S on a good day. I have made no changes to my
cvs-supfile, still using RELENG_4 as before. Here's a snippet of output from
running cvsup -g -L2 ~/cvs-supfile :
-----------------------output from neverending cvsup-----------------------

and so on and so on and so on....
Here's my cvs-supfile:
------------------------cvs-supfile---------------------
FreeBSD_box# cat cvs-supfile
*default host=cvsup14.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default tag=RELENG_4
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
src-all
ports-all tag=.
doc-all
FreeBSD_box#
Anyone have any suggestions? Why has a perfectly functioning cvsup process
suddenly started failing with no changes whatsoever to the cvs-supfile?
TIA,
-John Carri
