There was a thread that found its way on to here the other day. The topic was how easy and low-bandwidth CVSup is to use with people making statements like, "5 minutes on a dial-up link," to CVSup an existing source tree. I once would have agreed, but I have been having a really frustrating time with CVSup. I am hoping someone can help me debug this. Here is an example of what I see. I tried to CVSup STABLE this afternoon, # cvsup -P- -g complete-supfile Connected to cvsup11.freeBSD.org Updating collection src-base/cvs Updating collection src-bin/cvs Updating collection src-contrib/cvs TreeList failed: Network write failure: Connection timed out Will retry at 12:00:42 Retrying Connected to cvsup11.freeBSD.org Updating collection src-base/cvs Updating collection src-bin/cvs Updating collection src-contrib/cvs Updating collection src-etc/cvs Updating collection src-games/cvs Updating collection src-gnu/cvs Updating collection src-include/cvs Updating collection src-lib/cvs Updating collection src-libexec/cvs Updating collection src-release/cvs Edit src/release/texts/alpha/HARDWARE.TXT Updating collection src-sbin/cvs Updating collection src-share/cvs Updating collection src-sys/cvs TreeList failed: Network write failure: Connection timed out Will retry at 13:17:23 Retrying Connected to cvsup11.freeBSD.org Updating collection src-base/cvs Updating collection src-bin/cvs Updating collection src-contrib/cvs TreeList failed: Network write failure: Connection timed out Will retry at 14:24:40 Retrying Connected to cvsup11.freeBSD.org Updating collection src-base/cvs Updating collection src-bin/cvs Updating collection src-contrib/cvs TreeList failed: Network write failure: Connection timed out Will retry at 15:49:32 Retrying Connected to cvsup11.freeBSD.org Updating collection src-base/cvs Updating collection src-bin/cvs Updating collection src-contrib/cvs TreeList failed: Network write failure: Connection timed out Will retry at 17:28:32 Retrying Connected to cvsup11.freeBSD.org Updating collection src-base/cvs Updating collection src-bin/cvs Updating collection src-contrib/cvs TreeList failed: Network write failure: Connection timed out Will retry at 19:49:38 ^C I've sat and watched with a tcpdump and I see packets going out to the server but no responses. In this example, it's cvsup11, but this happens no matter which server I try. Nor does time of day or day of the week seem to matter. This makes me think it is either a problem with me or my ISP. I thought my dynamic rules on the firewall were timing out TCP connections too soon so I cranked those up, but the tcpdump shows that nothing was coming back. I typically don't have any problems with downloads over other services, but I wonder about the upload end. Uploads can be painful the few times I've moved anything big (though scp). IIRC, CVSup pushes some data upstream? Could this be my problem? Anyone have some ideas of what to look at? Anyone have CVSup problems and manage to fix them? -- Crist J.
