I don't know if anybody else has been using SourceForge's CVS today (Wednesday, April 21, 2004), but we here at NCSA have been noticing MAJOR problems with CVS checkins/updates. Jason suspects that the main CVS server has been going down and so the backup CVS server at SourceForge is being used.
Here's what happened. I checked in a bunch of code for the Installer yesterday, and when I did an update today, it checked out older code, thus I lost my 'good' files. Not knowing what happened, I had a backup of the code in another directory and I checked in the good files again. I went to another directory and found that all of the files that I had newly checked in yesterday were no longer a part of CVS. I waited 1/2 hour and suddenly those files WERE a part of CVS. Neil checked in some changes to Database.pm but they must have gone to the backup CVS server, because when I tried to check out the changes, I got nothing new. Then he did an update and the good cvs server must have come back up because it fetched an old copy. He had a backup in another directory and had to check that one in (again!) before I could get the changes. Not only that, updates have been taking well over 1/2 hour. And it's not even the 1st of the month! :-) So, I HOPE that this situation is temporary and everything will be fine tomorrow. And I'm not offering any solutions. I'm just letting everybody else know that if you do a CVS checkout/update today, you may very well NOT have the latest code.
