Summary: Checking for new files with "cvs -qn update" always times out Project: Savannah Administration Submitted by: gavin Submitted on: Fri 23 Jun 2017 06:08:39 PM UTC Category: Webpages repositories Priority: 5 - Normal Severity: 3 - Normal Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Email: Operating System: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: I would like to know if there are new pages I need to track with "cvs add" for a new version of a manual. I have seen "cvs -qn update" as the recommended command to do this, but it doesn't work very well. $ cvs -qn update ? texinfo/html_node/Obsolete-_0040_002dCommands.html ? texinfo/html_node/texi2any-Environment-Variables.html vcs0.savannah.gnu.org: Connection timed out cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) $ cvs -qn update vcs0.savannah.gnu.org: Connection timed out cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) $ cvs -qn update vcs0.savannah.gnu.org: Connection timed out cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) As you see above, I got told about two files I needed to add, but then it timed out, so I didn't know if there were any more. I tried it again twice and it timed out both times. I found a work-around to do it in a lower level of directory: $ cd texinfo/html_node/ $ cvs -qn update This completed without any error being printed. So I would have to know which subdirectories could have updated files and run "cvs -qn update" in each one. In my case, this is not difficult to do. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?109340> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
