I hope I am adressing the right common-lisp.net list, but has something bad happened to the CVS repositories hosted on common-lisp.net?
I am tracking a number of cl-net projects and when I tried to update just now, it behaved quite funny.
One such example of a project I am tracking is 'beirc', but I saw it in several other projects, which is why I have started to suspect a generic problem rather than something bad in a particular project.
For beirc I have recorded the following repository URL:
:pserver:anonymous:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/beirc/cvsroot
If I check the homepage at
http://common-lisp.net/project/beirc/
the link to browse the repo gives a "Not Found" nor does the link to how to download it work.
What happens when I try to do an update or a checkout, I get output like this:
... U 00external00/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/CVSROOT/notify U 00external00/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/cvsroot/CVSROOT/rcsinfo ...
and indeed the files are duplicated:
christians-imac:~/Local/UPSTREAM$ find beirc/ -name variables.lisp beirc//00external00/beirc/variables.lisp beirc//00external00/CVSROOT/beirc/variables.lisp beirc//00external00/CVSROOT/CVSROOT/beirc/variables.lisp beirc//00external00/CVSROOT/CVSROOT/CVSROOT/beirc/variables.lisp beirc//00external00/CVSROOT/CVSROOT/CVSROOT/CVSROOT/beirc/variables.lisp beirc//00external00/CVSROOT/CVSROOT/CVSROOT/CVSROOT/CVSROOT/beirc/variables.lisp ....
This on a Mac (OSX 10.9.5) with the buildin cvs which claims to be the following:
christians-imac:~/Local/UPSTREAM/beirc$ cvs --version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13 (client/server)

This has worked not so long ago, I think.
