darcs push failed on fresh repo

[popinet]

Hi,

I am trying to push to a freshly created repo. I have clicked on "Fix
repo permissions" first, just to be sure.

When trying to push a single patch, I get:

% darcs push pop...@patch-tag.com:/r/popinet/gerris-ehd

If I try again I get:

Sorry for the wait, this one slipped by.

Removed the lock file, and in process of changing the "fix push
permissions" cheat to

1) delete lock files (this problem)
2) halt/restart the server process (which should fix the out of memory
errors another user reported)

Thanks for looking into this but I still have exactly the same problem
(same sequence as in my previous message), even after clicking several
times on "fix push permissions".... i.e. the lock file is still there
after receiving "apply failed" from darcs.

Any idea?

[Thomas Hartman]

Hm. I haven't finished the fix push permissions bit change yet, so
wouldn't expect a change in that behavior....

Just now, I deleted your lock file again and this time I did fix push
permissions immediately afterwards (can't remember if I did this
yesterday).

If this still isn't working could you add tphyahoo user to that repo?
(I know, there should be some admin hack to do this unilaterlally, but
I haven't implemented it yet.)

thomas.

Thanks, it seems to be working now.

A somewhat related question: Am I wrong in thinking that you do not
use the global darcs cache for patches?

http://darcs.net/manual/node5.html#SECTION00530000000000000000

I am asking because, in my case, gerris-ehd is a branch of
gerris-devel which is already on patch-tag. If the repositories in
/r/popinet were using the global darcs cache, filling this branch with
'darcs push' would only involve my local darcs sending a list of the
required patches, these patches would all already be in the global
cache (because they are shared with gerris-devel) and I would expect
this initial 'darcs push' to be much faster than it currently is. It
looks like 'darcs push' uploads every patch from my local machine to
patch-tag (i.e. it does not use/find them in the darcs global cache).

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your great job

I have the same problems right now.

I want to push an existing repository to patch-tag and here is what
seems to happend :
I tried pushing all patches at once but it fails, then I couldn't push
even one patch because of the lock problem.
So I erased the repository and tried pushing the patches one by one.
It goes well until I got to some big patch. At that point I get a
memory error (darcs: out of memory (requested 31457280 bytes))

I already tried it three times (recreating the repo each time) and it
still fails.

Any ideas ?

I believe should be ok now, please let me know otherwise.

[Thomas Hartman]

On second thought, I'm not sure about that memory error -- mainly I
meant that the issue with locks blocking a push is fixed, or improved
at least now that "fix permissions" action also deletes locks.

My test for big repositories is to push the whole darcs repo into
patch-tag, and this works for me. But maybe you have something even
bigger? If you want please give me a way to download the large repo
you are trying to push so that I can do my own tests with it.

I have been thinking of upgrading to a server with more memory, so
maybe now is the time.

cheers, thomas.

Hi,

I fixed the permissions and now everything went well.
I don't know why the problem was there before.
If you want to investigate the repository in question is
https://patch-tag.com/r/gdetrez/pgf4jvm/
Thanks to you for fixing the problem !
