Attempting a cvs up at the moment is failing with: cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/python/python/dist/src' (/cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/#cvs.lock): Permission denied cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/python/python/dist/src' cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up ... or is it just me?

Not sure if it's related but I've noticed cvs hiccups the past couple of nights. I'm anonymous (and thus not getting Permission denied) - but thought I'd mention it in case its relevant. I thought that somebody else had volunteered to host cvs on their company's server(s) for a low cost. -c On Fri, Jun 20, 2003 at 04:56:12PM +1000, Anthony Baxter wrote:

You will have a different range of problems. Since a couple of days sourceforge runs non-ssh CVS off the backup CVS server, so you see a picture that is 24 hours old. I got bitten by this yesterday. -- Jack Jansen, <Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman

Yes, on 13Jun I submitted a comment to the master bug they opened on CVS performance. They took both anonymous cvs and ViewCVS out of sync. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=721915&group_id=1&atid=200001 My suggestion was to somehow provide current data to the developers on a given project. I have not as yet received a reply, though another comment was posted by Moorman requesting no more comments (though the text of the original bug requested comment :) because of the traffic generated by comments. (So I sent a private email suggesting that SF consider sending the changes to a tracker item instead of the whole item every time someone makes a comment. I'm not holding my breath.) Lately there have been a number of complaints that the anoncvs/ViewCVS is as much as 3 days out of date, including one from Bruce Sherwood for VPython. In addition, the nightly tarballs are three days out of date, at least on some projects, and they are getting many complaints on that. The SF staff has taken to answering all comments and requests by posting boilerplate. Taken in with the general web site delays and errors, it does seem like SF control over the situation is unraveling. __ KBK

Oh, and the download and CVS statistics have been completely broken for many (possibly a majority) projects since 20May. It seems some projects are getting assigned the traffic that actually belongs to other projects. IDLEfork, for example, shows only nine downloads of the new beta (made 2 1/2 weeks ago) whereas the average for the previous alpha was 17 per /day/, while other projects are complaining that their download stats are way to /high/. __ KBK

Me. But one thing I do need to know is how much bandwidth CVS uses, which I haven't had an answer to yet.
