Hello,

Lately I'm getting such errors:

cvs [checkout aborted]: error closing libc/CVS/Entries.Log: Input/output error

[BTW: It's always CVS/Entries.log that causes that error]

I don't know whether that means an local or remote error, but it's not easy to recover from them:

a) linuxboot/.cvsignore does not include "libc", hence, when you re-issue an cvs update on the unattended structure it scans all the libc subtree.

b) running cd linuxboot && make download
in order to re-start the download, it results in:
make: *** [download-glibc-20041122] Error 1

When I capture the line, make -n download generates for the glibc, I removed the [ ! -e $module ] part, I can continue the checkout.

Currently, I have to re-start the checkout about ten times, now and then getting "cvs [checkout aborted]: recv() from server sources.redhat.com: Connection resetby peer" errors as well.

I'm not sure, if you can have the cvs retrieval auto-repeat itself or something like that; but it would be very helpful, when "make download" is working to continue a failed CVS checkout.

Maybe to remove the [ ! -e $module ], but that depends on whether this phrase has been included there at first.
Maybe another variant is to have "make" create a shell script one can call repeatedly until all the files are downloaded -- til the "mv libc glibc-###" happened?


BTW: a) is not so important, I guess, I found out because I use a script that is to update the unattended tree (update unattended, then make download and finally calling prepare).

Bye,
