Updating a CVS from behind a firewall
Asger K. Alstrup Nielsen
I'm having a few problems with cvs-1.10.
The LyX Team has set up a cvs-1.10 repository on nazgul.lyx.org with
pserver support.
I'm sitting behind a firewall, and use :pserver: to access it.
And the first "cvs checkout lyx0_12" works great. However, when
I do "cvs update", it hangs. Also, sometimes with "cvs checkout",
it freezes.
For instance:
$ strace cvs -t -d ":pserver:c...@anoncvs.lyx.org:/usr/local/lyxsrc/cvsroot" checkout lyx0_12
[...]
fchdir(5) = 0
close(5) = 0
access("CVS/Entries.Static", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("CVS/Tag", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("CVS/Checkin.prog", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("CVS/Update.prog", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(3, "set.h\nEntry /figure.h/1.1.1.1//"..., 1024) = 1024
write(3, "etinclude.C/1.2///\nUnchanged in"..., 3072) = 3072
write(3, "ged lyxdraw.C\nEntry /lyxdraw.h/"..., 1024) = 1024
write(3, "/1.1.1.1///\nUnchanged lyxserver"..., 1024) = 1024
write(3, "nel.C\nEntry /math_panel.h/1.1.1"..., 709) = 709
read(4,
and there it is. The cvs-server says that nothing is in the SendQueue.
Both the server and the client is using cvs-1.10 on Linux.
My kernel is 2.0.34 as distributed with RedHat, and the server
is running Linux 2.0.103 (uptime 89 days).
The situation is the same with :ext: using ssh.
What could be wrong?
