Hello all, Just a quick notice to anyone using CVS under linux from jabberstudio.org - if you experience cvs hanging during a checkout or update, it could be related to your version of cvs. Apparently the latest stable version of Mandrake and RedHat both use cvs v1.11.1p1, whereas the latest version available is v1.11.2. The problem appears to be a slight change to the protocol when using the -z option for compression. The command runs correctly, grabbing the requested files, then asks the server for final confirmation, which it never gets.
The solution is to upgrade to v1.11.2, which appears to be in the development versions of both distributions. You can also just press Control-C if you are sure the syncing has finished, to terminate the command. You can also not use the -z option, but not everyone has a fast network connection ;) Hope this explains things. I've tested on several machines, and the upgrade does fix the issue.
