Re: cvsup connection problems [was Re: how to update source tree without cvs?]

2003-09-15 Thread yew chin
i m using cvsup -L 2 so it should has verbose output.
but unfortunately, it didn't output anything.
i also guess that maybe the connection is slow, so i
keep waiting for the cvsup connection after the
running line.
after a few minutes of froze, it show something like:

Detailer failed: Premature EOF from server
Will Retry at 11:04:54

i m using the same CD to install freebsd in my house
and my friend's house and i have no problem cvsup-ing
at all. That's why at the beginning i guess that there
are some firewall setting prevent me from cvsup-ing in
my school.
Does anyone experience the EOF problems before?
Thanks for looking and answering.

  as i can tell i have successfully make a

 that. i
  just wonder what have prevent my computer
 downloading

  any ideas?
 
 Well, it's not a firewall problem; the connection is
 getting through
 the firewall just fine.  Check to see if cvsup is
 exchanging any data;
 maybe the transfer is just slow.  Also, you could
 try increasing the
 verbosity of cvsup to see if *it* knows anything
 that's going wrong.

 hell all, i have freebsd 4.7 but due to the firewall
 configuration in my school, i can't be able to cvsup.
 if i want to upgrade to 4.8 or update all the security
 patch?
 what should i need to do?
 is there anyway to update the src and ports
 application without using cvsup?
 thanks for looking and answering.

The FreeBSD handbook covers doing it with CTM as well, which should be
accessible via FTP and maybe HTTP.  Specific file versions can be
obtained in a number of ways, according to the FreeBSD web site, and
it's possible that you might be able to use cvs through your firewall,
even if you can't use cvsup.
