cvs hangs

[Ferenc Wagner]

Hello,

since the crash, every cvs operation I do hangs at the end.
[Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)]
For example:

tba:/usr/local/src/wine/ $ cvs status configure.ac
===================================================================
File: configure.ac      Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.151
   Repository revision: 1.151   /home/wine/wine/configure.ac,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)

<wait for a very long time, then get bored and press ^C>
cvs [status aborted]: received interrupt signal

The same for an update, too.  It seems to do a perfect job,
though.  cvs is sleeping in tcp_data_wait indefinitely.  I
have no idea what can cause this.  Any advice?

                                                Feri.

I had this problem also, but only when using ':ext:'. After an update
to the newest version ov CVS (1.11.5) the problem was solved.

If this continues to be a problem let me know. We are in the process of
rebuilding/upgrading the server after the crash. If you notice problems
please point them out.

Try altering the compression level used with -z, iirc there is a bug in
CVS (some versions) where it'll have the symptoms you describe when
using compression

Thanks for the suggestion.  Basically, it hangs for every
values of -z except 0.  Seems like my client has trouble
with the new server when compression is enabled.  I will
upgrade some time or other.
