I've run into this problem perhaps a dozen times over the past several
months while running amd64-current, most recently at 15:53 2012/1/26 EST
while running a system built from source updated at about 14:30
2012/1/21 EST: when trying to update the xenocara source tree there is a
very long (perhaps infinite) delay between issuing the 'cvs ...' command
and the start of any visible activity. In this most recent case the
delay was about 9 hours. Updating the src and ports source trees at
about the same time and using the same CVSROOT has always worked OK;
there's some delay but not a really long one. And sometimes the
xenocara update has worked without any problem. When it doesn't, 'rm
-rf /usr/xenocara' followed by reloading from the 5.0-release CD has
always allowed a subsequent cvs update to work.
The command I'm using is
# cd /usr/xenocara && cvs -d$CVSROOT -q up -Pd
(except for the working directory, exactly the same as the command for
updating the src or ports tree).
This has happened with several different values for CVSROOT, currently
# echo $CVSROOT
anon...@anoncvs1.usa.openbsd.org:/cvs
I am very confused by this. Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
