Cannot Download Source Code

BlindedByTheLight · Post #1by **BlindedByTheLight** » 14.04.2006, 19:44

Anyone know if something has changed on CVS regarding anonymous access?

On Mac OS X, in Terminal, I type in the usual:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/celestia login

Then get the usual: "CVS password:"

At which point I hit return and get this....

cvs [login aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

Thanks,
Steven

No, I get a similar error some time ago... you must wait perhaps a few hours, or till tomorrow... this seems to be problems at sourceforge...

I'll keep my fingers crossed. It's been about two days now...

Project CVS Service:      Partial Outage In-Progress         Last updated: 2006-03-30 Pacific

(  2006-04-14 11:18:04 - Project CVS Service )   As of 2006-04-14 we have an estimate on when the replacement CVS hardware for the new infrastructure will arrive. As soon as we get in into our hands, we'll actively work on it, with a goal of having it online by the end of the month of April. This is a best guess, and may not get hit due to the aggressive timeline we have placed on this project. However, be assured that recovery of this service in full is our highest priority. The sync process between developer and anonymous CVS (ViewCVS, etc.) is disabled now until the new infrastructure is in place, to ensure we have maximum coverage for the small number of data corruption issues that have been detected. We understand this is sub-optimal, but strongly believe that the protection of the data is paramount.

Thanks John - so if I am to understand this correctly, there is no way to get the latest code off CVS until the end of April? Yikes.

(if so, sorry ElC - looks like that Mac build's gonna have to wait)

On the message pointed by John they are talking of a shut down of the anonymous logging till end of maintenance... now as you can confirm the dev logging is always ok...

well not all of sf cvs is down i got vips and nip so it seams that only some of the hardware is down ( the box with celestia) and others

oh well donated hardware and time and space things happen like at SETI@ home a few mounths back

Well, if anyone happens to have the latest source code - and can make it available (or I can leave my public drop box open on my iDisk - for those who know what that means)...I'd be happy to use it to compile a version for OS X.

You don't have to use CVS to get the files. A"tarball" is created every night of all of the files. It's currently 68MB and is available at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/ ... ot.tar.bz2

Except that I keep losing the connection about 2/3 of the way through. Grrrr....

BlindedByTheLight · Post #12by **BlindedByTheLight** » 22.04.2006, 07:52

Selden... just curious... how would I navigate to that file from the web-site itself. I can't seem to find it.

Thanks,
S

EDIT: Actually, also - is the tarball, once uncompressed, the same as a download from CVS (mine looks a bit different)? I only ask because I can't even get Xcode to open with it. It says I'm missing a file.

Steven,

I don't think there is a way to browse to that location from the Celestia page. That directory contains tarballs of all of the SourceForge projects. They're documented on the page http://sourceforge.net/docs/E04/#nightly_tarballs

The tarball contains a copy of the CVS archive, not a simple backup of sourcecode. This means you have to tell your CVS client to extract the files for you after you've untarred the archive.

I use this command. You'll have to change it to specify wherever you put the CVS archive.

Code: Select all

cvs -d /cygdrive/c/cvs/Celestia/celestia-cvsroot checkout celestia/

Hi all
Its a while that I don't synchronize my CVS. I think immediately after the release 1.4.1, about three months ago.
Before starting with a 68 Mb download with my 56Kb connection I would like to ask if the development is still in progress and there are some good reasons to update the code or nothing significant is happenning, (like it seems to be, because of the lack of messages in the developer mailing list) and so it would be reasonable to wait until sourceforge will be fully operational again.
Kind regards

Apart the new star rendering (which is still in dev if I'm not wrong) nothing new...

Paolo

I updated cvs in the beginning of April before the site went down to anonymous users and an old bug that causes a crash when one has star style = to points and rendering mode = basic seems to be back. I never heard any confirmations or fixes tho. The cvs version i had from January did not have this problem. Since I did not hear of a fix on this I'd have to assume it's still there. I'm waiting till cvs (sourceforge) is fixed.

Hi All

I've updated as anonymous user TortoiseCVS, Stellarium and others projects on sourceforge. Celestia is still unavailable.
Is it someone else experiencing this problem?

Kind regards

Post #18by **selden** » 03.05.2006, 21:10

It's been unavailable for at least a couple of weeks :-(

I succeeded to download CVS several hours ago, but recent changes(after on downtime for anonymous users) were not reflected.

Paolo · Post #20by **Paolo** » 07.05.2006, 11:55

I can confirm. Now anonymous user access to CVS is granted for me. But when I've tried to update nothing was downloaded!

Kind regards.
