CVS download failed (eagleusb@gna)
Hi,
the CVS import for ueagle-atm project failed with :
Step 1 of 3: Downloading source code history (Failed)
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/9924/enlistments
Could you please look at what's went wrong?
Thanks,
Olivier.
Hi Olivier,
The problem is that /cvs/eagleusb is not a real
directory -- it is a symlink to another directory on the server. For reasons we haven't solved yet, this situation causes an assertion failure in cvsnt [If you know the reason, we'd love to know].
We can work around the problem by using the path to the real directory instead of the symlink. In this case, it's /var/cvs/eagleusb. There are a couple of forges like java.net that have this problem for us, and we have a list of special-case rules for them. I'll add gna.org to this list so that no one else will have this problem.
I've made the directory change for this CVS repository, and the download now appears to be proceeding normally. Let me know if anything seems to go wrong.
Thanks,
Robin
Hi Robin,
thank you for your answer.
I just saw gna was indeed recommending to use /var/cvs/eagleusb (on https://gna.org/cvs/?group=eagleusb)
But it failed again at step 1/3.
Can you check if it's still the same error?
Thanks!
The same problem seems to affect other gna.org projects, see for instance the CBB project I tried to add yesterday:

@Olivier,
This failure was just caused by gna.org not being very reliable (sorry, gna, it's true). Every couple hundred revisions, we get a checkout failure. I've rescheduled the job. It may or may not finish without another restart or two.
@dartar,
Yes, this was the same issue, and I've replaced the CVS URL on that project with the revised one. It should download now. Our system is now hard-wired to fix up gna.org URLs automatically now, so enlistments added in the future should not need any special care.

I specified a specific module for the CBB repository, and it looks like it's now counting LoC...

Failed again. Could you schedule another try please?
