Re: Problem updating xemacs-packages from CVS

Is this a known problem? Well, our CVS server is know to be a little cranky. The standard algorithm to resolve such problems with cvs update is: cvs update ... error ... cvs update # again; be persistent ... same error ... # Hmmm rm -rf troublesome_file_or_directory cvs update ... sweet success ... Good Luck! (at least, I do cvs update semi-continuously, and have had to apply the above algorithm myself a few times over the past several years). Martin
