cvs : fails to successfully checkout Mozilla source code.

[mmadia]

cvs in Haiku fails to successfully checkout all of Mozilla's source tree.

Here are the commands to checkout Mozilla: Copy the attached file `mozconfig' to /boot/home

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot ;
cvs co -r MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH mozilla/client.mk ;
cd mozilla ;
make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=all ; 

It's very likely that cvs will mention errors while checking out and fail to successfully download all files. Unfortunately, this is difficult to see as the make command executes several cvs commands.

An easy way to check if cvs crapped out is to perform a Tracker query for files named ".new.*"

Confirmed on two AMD64 single-core machines, one with nForce4 network chipset, one with Marvell. Also seeing quite a lot of:

cvs [checkout aborted]: reading from server: Socket is not connected

Revision 29805, gcc2.

Revisiting this one, it looks to me like something changed on the Mozilla side, the above instructions don't work here any more. mmadia?

Still persistant in 33217. screenshot is attached, showing the tracker query for ".new." The following directions were used.

wget http://dev.haiku-os.org/raw-attachment/ticket/3640/mozconfig
mv mozconfig ~/.mozconfig
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot
cvs co -r MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH mozilla/client.mk
cd mozilla
make -f client.mk checkout MOZ_CO_PROJECT=all

still persistent in hrev35807

This does not appear to happen on hrev44610. closing.
