Re: [Axiom-developer] Re: sourceforge cvs

David,

Sourceforge SVN seems to be broken. Yours is the latest complaint
I've seen from the sourceforge SVN/CVS archives. Bill spent some
time trying to clean them up. I'd suggest doing a tla checkout
from the arch repository and then doing:

  diff -r --brief archcheckout svncheckout

they should be exactly the same modulo the arch and svn control
repositories. You can remove most of the noise with grep -v thus:

  diff -r --brief archcheckout svncheckout | grep -v arch-id

I checked out a fresh silver tree following above instructions and this
tree does not build.

I suppose this is related to the .svn/ directories being spread all over
the axiom tree.

'make clean' does not work neither, with the same error.

Best wishes,

I have not been following the thread closely but SF has locked  
anonymous checkout because they had problems with it.

I work on a project where the latest we can get is a March 9th update  
when the developer keeps adding stuff everyday.

There is a note somewhere on SF about that.

There is definitely a strange problem with the CVS at SourceForge.

The CVS browse now shows everything as atleast 3 months old:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/axiom/axiom/

(December 2005) and

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/axiom/axiom/Makefile?view=markup

shows the old version of the Makefile without gcl-2.6.8pre

But that is very odd! Because two days ago I did a 'cvs update'
from SourceForge and I did obtain the correct new version.

And further more the Savannah CVS browse is also up to date:

http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/axiom/?root=axiom

(patch-49)

I don't understand it.
