That is very bad news. :( I was hoping that this error was confined to Windows. > And for the 1 or 2 times it completed, I got the following error > after make: > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > $ LANG=C make > 13 making noweb > tar: Skipping to next header > tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers > incomplete literal tree > ... > > Therefore I am not sure I can trust svn from sourceforge. > The branch has been impossible to use so far for me. The same for me. :( I think the error above with tar file is probably caused by the fact that the .tgz files in the current CVS and tla archives are not properly marked as 'binary' files. This has caused me problem before when using the Axiom CVS under Windows because some Windows CVS packages do silly things like automatically converting the unix line ending to CF LF on Windows and of course that trashes any binary file that the system thinks is text. Apparently this is a known complication when converting CVS archives to SVN. E.g. http://list.coin-or.org/pipermail/project-managers/2005-October/000008.html http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#binary-files Storing binary files in a source code archive is something that I have always objected to, but Tim insists on re-distributing code this way. I really think we should stop doing this. > > It *might* be a problem with my provider not allowing enough > ssh traffic (very hard to prove but I have suspicions from > other problems). > > It might also simply be sourceforge too overloaded. In my case I have no other problems using ssh to the sourceforge site from Windows using other software.
