-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Tonight cvs-cur didn't create a delta. The reason is that cvsup deleted most of the contents of "www" without putting them into any kind of "Attic." The program that generates the delta only allows up to 2500 files to be deleted in any one delta. Presumably this is to avoid problems if huge numbers of files are deleted accidentally at the other end. And this is quite likely what really happened. I would like to encourage people to move to svn-cur. I have been testing it for quite a while now, and it seems to be working very well. cvs-cur is a rather hard set of deltas to maintain, particularly now that FreeBSD is no longer based upon cvs. Just in terms of generating deltas, it takes about 2 hours to create. Whereas the typical svn-cur delta takes less than a minute to create (the really big ones take at most 5 minutes to create). Also, cvs-cur is hard to maintain because it is the most troublesome. As I have said, I plan to get rid of cvs-cur around the end of February. And when it goes I will be very relieved. In the meantime, I really don't know what caused the last breakage, and I cannot predict if it will fix itself tomorrow, or whether it will remain broken for quite a while. As I said, I don't think the problem is at my end, Thanks, Stephen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQ4S4bAAoJEC3xK9GaktgHMVsIAL35SNrWFXbJp08eA32CsTGh h1rkBsvxrPF7lAtSS6sim1SqDjAQpmBNAwS4xVetvoTqpOVXUYzw19JuLyt95ctB EU0PeuehU/s9sx0FMHF7dxj4hennPQ9sO1AgKM/oPvu3t0VcEmTasJEwdxNwDhsk W8B/bKlx/JqXS5ChaCzmTShjZfuMFJTdTGw5+j2ywpkCuu0L9/CnoJrs4IciQuuq M4J9hLUGjTk9Fs3xfgXuPoBOD43/5TMQM8jsHOypndnq8m7LXzOciXbiB9G0SJwU w1Nd9gPjozMjZvs74/DFIj3FueQY0xyni6XJdVt9QnbLuWeef74Zz948HkdApw8= =Ktkn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
