Hi,

this works for me (all on one line):

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous:anonymous@common-lisp.net:/project/beirc/cvsroot co beirc

Can you send us the command that is not working?

As to the cgi-bin brouhaha - I'm on it.

Regards, Mario

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:

...

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)

Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

This has worked not so long ago, I think.
