[Monotone-devel] Re: Monotone CVS sync

[William Uther]

Hi,
  So I compiled the net.venge.monotone.cvssync branch.  It seems to  
work quite well.  Thankyou to those on IRC who have already helped me  
in my quest :).

  However it also seems that the cvssync branch is based on version  
0.24.  This is before the last netsync change and the last db  
update.  This means that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to make  
this interoperate with a standard monotone binary.  That is problematic.

  I then tried the net.venge.monotone.cvssync.refactor branch.  Head  
was having problems linking.  Moving back to before the "move sync  
specialities into client" commit allowed me to compile (with the  
patch below).

  Unfortunately the refactored branch at that revision doesn't seem  
to work.  It hangs on the first pull.  It also doesn't respond well  
to make check:

Of 404 tests run:
        315 succeeded
        61 failed
        28 had expected failures
        0 succeeded unexpectedly
        0 were skipped
FAIL: run_lua_tests
==========================================
1 of 3 tests failed
Please report to address@hidden
==========================================

(Most, but not all, of those fails had "line 2" after them.  Is that  
something like a check of available options that just wouldn't have  
been updated?)

I then went back further to  
cd65adc2a113afeb020dc3a0eea88cebe743e3f9 .  It seems to work, but is  
there a preferred stable revision that is more trusted?  That  
revision still fails a bunch of 'make check' tests:

Of 401 tests run:
        316 succeeded
        57 failed
        28 had expected failures
        0 succeeded unexpectedly
        0 were skipped
FAIL: run_lua_tests
==========================================
1 of 3 tests failed
Please report to address@hidden
==========================================

Be well all,

Will        :-}

P.S. Here is the patch to make the refactor branch compile (on my mac):
