Sourceforge CVS Timeout

Categories: Software Development

I got a timeout problem while trying to make a CVS update of my SourceForge project.Ever saw something like this ?!?

cvs -z3 -d:ext:troeger@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/condor-ext update
cvs.sourceforge.net: Operation timed out
cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

The reason is simple, you need to tell CVS that it has to use SSH for the connection:
export CVS_RSH=ssh

Even though I already knew that, I made a mistake within the script that calls CVS. I found the solution by forcing CVS to be a little more verbose, using the -t option.

The title of the blog simply clarifies my reason for joining the writing community. Since I am working at [url=http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de]university[/url], every day brings up a small piece of new knowledge. This blog will collect (and hopefully sort) this stuff, so that this information is no longer lost in emails, wikis, paper notes, or other kinds of ‘information storage’.
Currently, I am involved in several projects at university. You get a first impression with the blog categories – more later ;-)
