I get since some time regularly failures of fink selfupdate with msgs like cvs update: cannot open directory /cvsroot/fink/dists/10.4/unstable/ crypto/finkinfo: Cannot allocate memory
I get those as well when using explicitly /usr/bin/cvs, so it is not due to fink's cvs pkg. This happens even when local memory usage is low _ say 1.4 out of 2 G. In general when retrying, especially dir after dir and with a naked 'cvs up' without adornations, things go away and one gets through. Tonight not... The ref to "/cvsroot/fink/dists/" suggests it may be either a memory problem or an error on the other side.. (In general I get this on rather big dirs _ eg, 'libs' _ but tonight even on smaller ones like crypto) Anyone else experiencing this ? Is it really a sourceforge problem ?
