New submission from rob kinninmont <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: So I was just chatting with my co-worker (zooko) again and he reports that this mail never made it to you guys - nor did it bounce. very curious.
perhaps worth noting also, that I was getting similar behaviour when trying to _pull_ from our central repo too. (i.e. it 'just hangs', '-v -v -v -v' makes no difference, and when I kill it, it reports '^Cdarcs: failed to read patch in get_extra:') I'm currently rsyncing a whole copy of that repo down locally so that I can try again with an all-local setup. but this has blocked the merge I need to do for over an hour now. while I like many features of darcs, wasting time for hung operations, and/or spending extra time dealing with exerimental work-arounds, all too frequently grates severely on ones nerves... cheers, rob p.s. I'm on an intel Mac, 10.4.9 Begin forwarded message: > From: Rob Kinninmont <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: April 5, 2007 11:57:46 AM PDT > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: gripe: hangs > > > so for no readily identifiable reason, darcs has developed a habit > of hanging. > > I'll dispatch a 'push' from the command line, then it prints > 'Pushing to <repo>...' > and hangs. sometimes it works. sometimes it takes a couple of > tries (each time > waiting 5-10min doing something else before determining that it's > dead) sometimes > more. > > it's kinda frustrating. > > """ > otto:~/trees/trunk/trunk robk$ dpush wol:trees/trunk > Pushing to "wol:trees/trunk"... > > ^C > > ^CwithSignalsHandled: Interrupted! > """ > > > anyway, I just said "I wish darcs gave more informative messages > about what it's doing, > so it was clearer what's failing when it hangs." to my co-worker, > who said, "Send that > sentence to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", please." > > > it's mostly the sense of impotence and beholdenness heaped upon the > frustration of > having to deal with a wait-an-indeterminate-period-to-figure-out- > whether-it's-hung > that causes the cursing... > > > I'm running > otto:~/trees/trunk/trunk robk$ darcs --version > 1.0.8 (release) > > > > cheers, > rob > ---------- messages: 1621 nosy: EricKow, beschmi, droundy, robk, tommy status: unread title: gripe: hangs ____________________________________ Darcs issue tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.darcs.net/issue438> ____________________________________ _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
