I have just done a cvs update of both XEmacs and the packages for the first time since the end of June. Both seemed to go extremely slowly, but, after a few restarts, the packages update did complete. XEmacs proper, however, stalled during the update of the man directory. I tried blowing a few of the .tex files away to see if that would break the log jam (it seemed a good idea at the time) but to no avail. The update stalls here: cvs server: Updating lwlib S-> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) S-> unlink(CVS/Entries.Log) cvs server: Updating man S-> rename(CVS/Entries.Backup,CVS/Entries) S-> unlink(CVS/Entries.Log) S-> checkout (/usr/CVSroot/XEmacs/xemacs/man/cl.texi,v, 1.7.2.2, , (function)) S-> server_register(cl.texi, 1.7.2.2, , , release-21-2, , ) S-> Register(cl.texi, 1.7.2.2, , , release-21-2 ) I have this in my .cvsrc: cvs -z3 diff -u update -P I issue `cvs update' in the top level directory. Any ideas? Yours faithfully, -- __ /__ Peter B. West pbwest(a)netscape.net / http://www.powerup.com.au/~pbwest / "Lord, to whom shall we go?"
