[U-Boot-Users] cvs access error

I want to checkout a u-boot cvs source tree, but got following error: #cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/u-boot login Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/u-boot CVS password:(Enter) cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server cvs.sourceforge.net: EOF what should I do?

Works fine for me.
what should I do?
Try again?

The Sourceforge CVS access is problematic. I've seen this in many projects lately.
You will have to retry a few times until it works (it usually takes 3-4 retries in succession).
Wolfgang, you don't have any problems because as a project maintainer you have CVS access through ssh which is working fine.

Nope. Of course I tried anonymous access just as the OP did. It worked fine for me.
I already send an email pointing out that an alternative solution is to access the nightly snapshots of the CVS reposititory from http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/u-boot-cvsroot.tar.gz

sf anon cvs is still hopelessly screwed up; this is a known problem, sf is arbitrarily closing connections depending on load:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=2352&group_id=1#cvs
The tarball is insufficient because it is just an export of the latest, and does not contain cvs metadata (i.e. insufficient to do cvs diffs, logs, exports from other tags, etc)...
We have enough b/w here that i can offer rsync/pserver access to a mirror of your actual cvs tree....
But in general sf.net is, urm, charlie foxtrot.

Urm. mea culpa. that tarball IS, in fact, the entire cvs tree.
wolfgang, I can put up a pserver if you like... let me know.

I get this the first time. If you try again immediately after the error it works. (usually)

I get the same thing sometimes. I just keep trying and after awhile (4 or 5 tries) it succeeds. Someone once told me it was because the server is always overloaded... --- Zhao Hongda zhaohd@vis.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn wrote:
