[Python-Dev] hg.python.org cloning troubles after Sep 13 changes

[M.-A. Lemburg]

Just FYI (and for the archives), to perhaps save someone a few minutes:

I've been hitting a problem with hg pull and hg clone on a box recently
and after staring at it for a while, finally found the cause.

Here's what hg printed:

HG-Python/cpython> hg pull -u -b 2.7
abort: no suitable response from remote hg!

Not much help.

Using --debug:

orig/HG-Python> hg --debug clone ssh://hg@hg.python.org/cpython cpython-2.7
running ssh -C -q -l marc-andre.lemburg -i /home/lemburg/.ssh/id_rsa hg at hg.python.org "hg -R cpython
serve --stdio"
sending hello command
sending between command
abort: no suitable response from remote hg!

Still no help.

Then I remembered that the box was newly setup on Sept 13 and checked
Benjamins email. The server host key had also changed. After removing
the offending key and accepting the new one, things started working
again.

The hg on the box is 1.7.5, so newer version may include a better
error message.

Cheers,
