Hello all, Having been following the build failures one thing that has happened on 2 occasions now, the last just recent in the past 2 days, is buildworld failing when it reaches strip either creating the directory or compiling. The prior is really bizarre. No matter since my main point is that in both cases deleting section of the source tree and re-cvsup'ing did not help. Gave up and blew away the entire source tree, reinstalled the source from 3.2R, and cvsup'd again. The first time there were no problem cvsup'ing. Recently there have been problems with cvsup6 hanging at times and needing to ^C and reconnect. During the day it can be slow, but even when it's saturating a 128K ISDN connection it will hang at times, especially if there are a lot of changes (oddly enough last night it sent everything to bring 3.2R source up to -stable). Stops dead and never finishes, even hours later. It may due to passive mode, but one has to wonder if the ^C leads to some corruption. Cleaning out the last files listed does not help and in most cases are not near the failure point. Mind you on both occasions *many* tries were made and the first had multiple failure points, but cvsup completed each time. Oddly, one time I found a badly mangled file that had not changed for over 6 months and was never touched by cvsup or moved, barring a hardware change. Pardon the nebulosity, but this is not really a problem (at this time), so I'm leaving out system details et all (ducks). More curious if others have had to blow away the source tree and start over. And if others have had problems with cvsup6 stalling on them. Been doing -stable buildworlds at least once a week for about a year with very few problems.
