Automake CVS: load average is too high
Hello! Could anybody please check what's going on with Automake CVS? If I'm using anonymous CVS (:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/automake) it almost always fails: $ cvs up Fatal error, aborting. load average of 25 is too high The number varies from 15 to 25. My guess is that there are runaway processes (CPU hogs) on the anoncvs.cygnus.com. Old versions of CVS can create such processes on "cvs log -r," or something like that (I don't want to check it). Since the CVS server doesn't reply to "cvs version", I assume it's old. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin

My guess is that gcc is at fault; it turns out that anoncvs.cygnus.com and gcc.gnu.org are one and the same machine, and gcc recently had the 3.0.4 release. I assume many people are still connecting to get that release. > Since the CVS server doesn't reply to "cvs version", I assume it's old. Indeed - it doesn't even support the -C flag to update (though I don't know what cvs version added it).
mkinstalldirs and conditional building/installation
In a Makefile.am, I have the following (summary): pkglibdir = $(cups_conf_serverbin) cupsexec_filterdir = $(pkglibdir)/filter if BUILD_CUPS cupsexec_filter_PROGRAMS = rastertoprinter commandtoepson commandtocanon endif Thus, if --with-cups is given to configure, AM_CONDITIONAL is used to conditionally build some programs. The generated rule for installation in Makefile.in is this: install-cupsexec_filterPROGRAMS: $(cupsexec_filter_PROGRAMS) @$(NORMAL_INSTALL) $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(cupsexec_filterdir) @list='$(cupsexec_filter_PROGRAMS)'; for p in $$list; do \ p1=`echo $$p|sed 's/$(EXEEXT)$$//'`; \ if test -f $$p \ || test -f $$p1 \ ; then \ f=`echo $$p1|sed '$(transform);s/$$/$(EXEEXT)/'`; \ echo " $(INSTALL_PROGRAM_ENV) $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $$p $(DESTDIR)$(cupsexec_filterdir)/$$f"; \ $(INSTALL_PROGRAM_ENV) $(LIBTOOL) --mode=install $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $$p $(DESTDIR)$(cupsexec_filterdir)/$$f; \ else :; fi; \ done The installation directory $(DESTDIR)$(cupsexec_filterdir) will be created *whether or not any program is built*! This should be fairly easy to correct: $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(cupsexec_filterdir) becomes: if test -n '$(cupsexec_filter_PROGRAMS)'; then \ $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(cupsexec_filterdir) \ fi In the gimp-print project, due to the nature of the package, just about every part can be compiled conditionally, because you generally only want a driver for one printing system. At the moment, every possible installation directory is created, leaving unused empty directories after installation. I don't have a patch, but I can make one if you would like--do I just need to update the .am files? Is automake CVS available anonymously?
