Impossible to import the CVS repository for OTRS

In: https://www.ohloh.net/p/otrs/enlistments it's impossible to add the main cvs repository.

The parameters: :pserver:anonymous:[email protected]:/home/cvs
module: otrs

The error message: The cvs server did not respond to an 'ls' command. Are the URL and module name correct?

For the OTRS maintainer, it's a problem from Ohloh: http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/dev/2010-November/002399.html

Do you have an idea about this problem ?

Yours.

Ludovic:

Hello

When the ls command is issued, the CVS server is returning at the end:
Terminated with fatal signal 11

We have encountered this error before, with eclipse.org CVS servers.

At the time the developer hard coded ohloh_scm to ignore that error, only if it's coming from eclipse.org

We should change it so whenever we issue an ls command, if that error is returned, to just ignore it.

Here is the code in question:
https://github.com/blackducksw/ohloh_scm/blob/master/lib/scm/adapters/cvs/misc.rb#L46 link

I've entered an issue on our side to fix this in the future.

I'll reply here once it's been corrected :)

Thank you very much :-)

I'm waiting your fix to announce this on the OTRS mailing-list.

I am currently seeing

The cvs server did not respond to an 'ls' command. Are the URL and module name correct?

But I am using the suggested URL from SourceForge itself, of

:pserver:anonymous:@cyl-viewer.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot

So, I cannot make a new enlistment. Please help.

BTW, I hope I am not out of line posting this similar issue here. Apologies if so.
Sincerely

cylviewer,

Do not worry - that is precisely what this forum is meant for. I'll investigate why you're having a problem with the new enlistment.

Thanks!

cylviewer,

I was able to get the enlistment in, but check the results once the first cycle is finished to be sure you got the expected results. Let me know here.

Thanks!

cylviewer,

I don't think the enlistment as I have it is working right... No lines of code and only one commit initial checkin. I must not have the right branch... Please assist.

Thanks!

Guys, how hard would it be to show the actual cvs ls command in the error message so we can figure out what's going on?

Dan,

I would be reluctant to expose too much information at first if just everyone can read it... logins & passwords can be exposed etcetera. It would be good if we could limit the information to project managers, I suppose, but that too is problematic. It does deserve some thought. I'll pass the info on and see if we can come up with some ideas.

Thanks!
