Thread: CVSup help??
I am trying to use cvsup to get the latest but keep failing as follows:
leslie:~$ cvsup sup.pgsql
Connected to postgresql.org
Updater failed: Premature EOF from server
Will retry at 04:40:54
Here is my sup file
*default release=cvs
*default prefix=/cvs
*default backup compress use-rel-suffix
pgsql host=postgresql.org base=/cvs/pgsql delete
Any thoughts?

I haven't seen any problems recently. My CVSup file follows...

That is what I meant to do. I want the CVS files.

So the missing tag=. line is not the problem?

I have tried this several times on two different evenings. Is there a time
window? Or is there a maximum connection count?
Any thoughts on how to debug this thing?
thanks

Nope, that one is correct...

5, but I don't think its ever hit that max, and I know the error
message is different then that if it had...I get it all the time at
FreeBSD :(

This is under Linux, correct? Do you have anything like 'truss'
or 'ktrace' that you can figure out where in the code its dying?
Sometimes I just delete the whole thing and re-cvsup.

Of course, Linux has everything ;-)
In this case it is strace. I will try it tonight. Although, the message
kinda implies that the server end is refusing or dropping the connection.

I've been using cvsup without incident for a few weeks on Linux (RH5), to get the CVS files. The relevant Linux command is strace.

I ran strace on it. Here is the relevant dialog. It looks like the server
just hangs up on me. Is there a log file on the server that might indicate
why?

Not sure why the ?@ifmxoak though...everyone else appears to have a proper

Ok, I think I start to understand.

So you get the user '?' cause that is what cvsup sent after reading through
my /var/tmp/utmp.
I am using the staticly linked cvsup client on a glibc (RH 5) linux system.
I tried the dynamic linked one and it had real problems loading shared libs
even though I have an old libc5 available.
So, my guess is that the staticly linked libc in cvsup is not understanding
the format of utmp on a glibc system. Hence, it cannot figure out my user
name to send to your server, hence your server pulls the plug on me.
Any idea on how to get a glibc version of cvsup? Or should I just go to
the DEC Moduala-3 site and install all that (I am told this is a bit of
a production) and then try to get the source for cvsup and build it?
Thanks

The relevant part of the dialog w/o compression (cvsup -Z) is: write(4, "COLL pgsql cvs\n", 15) = 15 write(4, ".\n", 2) = 2 write(4, ".\n", 2) = 2 So I think the compression was just sending some sort of header for its own use.
