Hi list, hopefully this is the right one and not -questions cvsup.uk.freebsd.org appears to have not been serving these last few weeks. I get, variously, in my logs: Parsing supfile "/etc/cvsupfile" Connecting to cvsup.uk.freebsd.org Connected to cvsup.uk.freebsd.org Rejected by server: Access limit exceeded; try again later Will retry at 03:08:08 Retrying Connecting to cvsup.uk.freebsd.org Connected to cvsup.uk.freebsd.org Server software version: SNAP_16_1h Negotiating file attribute support Exchanging collection information Establishing passive-mode data connection Cannot connect to data port: Connection refused Will retry at 03:18:04 Retrying Connecting to cvsup.uk.freebsd.org Connected to cvsup.uk.freebsd.org Server software version: SNAP_16_1h Negotiating file attribute support Exchanging collection information Establishing passive-mode data connection Cannot connect to data port: Connection refused Will retry at 03:37:33 Retrying ... on and on and on, continuously, 24/7. Because the update is called in a daily script by cron, potentially I get many instances of cvsup each time cron calls it and this happens - additionally the mailed output never arrives until the script successfully completes. So the first I knew of this was when I wasn't getting my mails for the daily run, but anyway... I'm now using cvsup4.uk.freebsd.org, which seems to work fine. Should cvsup.uk.freebsd.org be taken out of the list of cvsup servers? cheers -- John

Perhaps you'd be better off choosing something other than 03:00 as a starting point?> Connecting to cvsup.uk.freebsd.org > Connected to cvsup.uk.freebsd.org > Server software version: SNAP_16_1h > Negotiating file attribute support > Exchanging collection information > Establishing passive-mode data connection > Cannot connect to data port: Connection refused > Will retry at 03:18:04 > RetryingDon't do that! Use multiplexed mode "-P m" (from the cvsup man page, "All but multiplexed mode are deprecated"); or use csup which does multiplexed mode by default. On Saturday morning I updated two servers in London from from RELENG_7_1 to RELENG_7_2 using cvsup.uk. I checked again just now and it's still happy. -------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Running /usr/bin/csup -------------------------------------------------------------- Parsing supfile "/usr/local/etc/cvsup/src-supfile" Connecting to cvsup.uk.FreeBSD.org Connected to 131.111.8.41 Server software version: SNAP_16_1h Negotiating file attribute support Exchanging collection information Establishing multiplexed-mode data connection Running Updating collection src-all/cvs Shutting down connection to server Finished successfully -- John Marshall -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
