CTM is remarkably stable. In running it 3 years (I stopped about 4 months ago when my net connection improved) I had only 1 stoppage, a well known one caused by someone messing witht he archive. If you're getting problems like this on a regular basis, then you *really* ought to either consider your environment. Are you using any other tool besides ctm to touch your cvs archive? Are you doing commits locally? CTM won't allow anything but ctm alone to modify the tree, no exceptions whatsoever. In terms of convenience, cvsup is supreme, but in terms of stability, Poul's baby here is the champ, so you have to really consider other places of corruption first. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
