Next Steps: CVS Import Bug - Please Respond

[Oproescu Bogdan (KTXA 3)]

   Hello Bernd, 

   Thanks for your message below. Here are my answers to your questions: 

   1. The failures seem to move around at random, but the pattern seems 
   always to be large .jar files, causing time overlap between 2 or more 
   parallel CVS Clients into the SAME Module and Repository pair on our 
   CVS Central Server. Same is true for the import-tag pair on 2 or more 
   parallel CVS Clients, but I think this is another manifestation of the 
   first problem, namely that the "cvs import" is not atomic, so 2 or more 
   parallel CVS Clients will produce this issue, over and over again. 

   2. Our CVS Central Server is Unix Solaris 8.0: 
cvsadmin@su64sr20% uname -i -m -p -r -s -v
SunOS 5.8 Generic_117350-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R
cvsadmin@su64sr20% 
   
   3. I know you have no obligation to agree to fixing this issue 
   or to agree to any particular outcome, I am simply asking if you 
   or anyone else in the CVS Open Source Community can help us to 
   resolve these 2 CVS Bugs: parallel import-import and import-tag. 

   Please respond asap as this issue is urgent for our 900+ CVS Users 
   at Credit Suisse. 

   Cheers & Regards, Bogdan

Do the failures occur on the same files every time, or do they move
around at random?

Is the server running on *n*x or on Windows?

Looks like *n*x... or is it Cygwin?

Please remember that I am merely another user of CVS, and have no
obligation to agree to any particular outcome.
