OK, it had been a while since I updated from CVS, so I replaced the scenery as a matter of fact ( to be sure there were no conflicts).
My usual course of action in this case is to download all the scenery (I have a largish disk), copy them to the scenery directory, and untar them there with a script:
for tarball in $( ls *.tar.gz ); do tar -xzf $tarball && mv $tarball /root/Scenery/; done


(OK, it is ugly, but it gets the job done)

Recently, I discovered that several files gave CRC errors on untarring. out of all the files, these are the only ones that exibit errors, and I have re-downloaded them three times to make sure that it was not an error in transmission. The files in question are these:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           13M 2004-01-07 19:46 e000n60.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           30M 2004-01-07 19:46 e010n60.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src          8.3M 2004-01-07 19:46 e020n00.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           25M 2004-01-07 19:46 e020n40.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           25M 2004-01-07 19:46 e020s20.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           13M 2004-01-07 19:47 e050n20.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           18M 2004-01-07 19:48 e090n30.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           25M 2004-01-07 19:48 e100n10.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           27M 2004-01-07 19:48 e110n50.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src          476K 2004-01-07 19:48 e110s70.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src          7.5M 2004-01-07 19:48 e120n70.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           24M 2004-01-07 19:49 e150n60.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           27M 2004-01-07 19:49 w050s10.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           16M 2004-01-07 19:49 w070s40.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           16M 2004-01-07 19:50 w100n60.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           44M 2004-01-07 19:50 w120n30.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     src           34M 2004-01-07 19:51 w160n60.tar.gz

Are these just broken? Was this a known thing? Or had no one mentioned this to anyone before? The date on the actual files (these are the copies that I made from the download target directory) is 07/2001. Hmmm, perhaps I *didn't* need to update this time. . .Rats. . .
