I have. In fact I tried four different ones. Same result as before, every 
time:

And so on. It appears that the process of downloading patches completes, cvsup 
hits the Cleaning up phase, then fails to terminate and does the whole 
thing over and over and over.

Any suggestions?

CVSup worked fine a couple of weeks ago, and I haven't changed anything on my 
FreeBSD box since the last successful CVSup, other than trying several 
different cvsup sources today.  I'm on a school network, though, and it's 
possible that the network administrators have changed something campus-wide.
Any way I could diagnose if this is the problem?

FWIW, I just tried building a port (CUPS), and that worked just fine, so FTP 
transfers do not seem to be a problem.

TIA,

CVSup never finishes

2003-02-11 Thread John Carri
Hi all,
I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 on my Athlon XP 1700 desktop at work. I'm 
definitely a newbie, but I've read through Dru Lavigne's tutorials at 
OnLamp.com 
( http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2002/09/05/FreeBSD_Basics.html )
and with these for a guide I've used CVSup successfully a few times (and also 
discovered the joys of compiling a custom kernel and of the portupgrade 
utility). 

After FreeBSD 5.0 was released, though, CVSup no longer terminates but goes on 
and on and on for days on end with inactivity timeout and will retry 
messages every 90 minutes or so. I have a pretty fast network connection to 
the internet, about 250 kB/S on a good day. I have made no changes to my 
cvs-supfile, still using RELENG_4 as before.  Here's a snippet of output from 
running cvsup -g -L2 ~/cvs-supfile :

and so on and so on and so on

Here's my cvs-supfile:
cvs-supfile-
FreeBSD_box# cat cvs-supfile
*default host=cvsup14.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default tag=RELENG_4
*default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress
src-all
ports-all tag=.
doc-all
FreeBSD_box#

Anyone have any suggestions? Why has a perfectly functioning cvsup process 
suddenly started failing with no changes whatsoever to the cvs-supfile?

TIA,
-John Carri

Galeon compile errors , FreeBSD 4.7-release

2002-12-03 Thread John Carri
Hello,
I recently installed FreeBSD 4.7-release onto an old spare PC (266 MHz PII) 
so I could learn more about FreeBSD.  Consider me a pretty raw newbie right 
now. 

Yesterday I attempted to use the ports collection to install the Galeon web 
browser, but the process aborted :


su
password
cd /usr/ports/www/galeon
make
...

several hours go by while tarballs are downloaded via my dial-up modem and
 
Mozilla compiles (as a dependency for Galeon)


Checksum mismatch for gnome/gnome-vfs-1.0.5.tar.bz2
Make sure Makefile and distinfo file are up to date
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/gnomevfs


Any suggestions on fixing this?  
TIA,

-John Carri

Do a make distclean in the devel/gnomevfs directory, then try to
rebuild.

Thank you for the suggestion, I tried this, unfortunately it didn't fix the 
problem: 

su
passwd
cd /usr/ports/devel/gnomevfs
make distclean
cd ../../www/galeon
make
...

gnome-vfs-1.0.5.tar.bz2 does not seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/gnome
Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net.

receiving gnome-vfs-1.0.5.tar.bz2 (781057 bytes): 100%
Checksum mismatch for gnome/gnome-vfs-1.0.5.tar.bz2
Make sure Makefile and distinfo file are up to date
***Error Code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/devel/gnomevfs
***Error Code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/www/galeon

Now what?  With my limited current knowledge of FreeBSD, this is stopping me 
cold in my tracks. I've read the ports section of the FreeBSD handbook but 
still don't know what to do...

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

-John Carri
