yes checkout works fine also. it was my error. when using tortoiscvs, do not right click the xbmc folder to do a checkout. either click an open space or one folder above xbmc.

but i haven't had any issues with either checkout or update using the mirror as long as i do it right.

@deanrparry update and check out are working with tortoisecvs.


cheers b4tm4n.

in d:\files: "c:\program files\tortoisecvs\cvs.exe" "-q" "checkout" "-p" "xbmc"
cvsroot=:pserver:[email protected]:443/cvsroot/xbmc

empty password used - try 'cvs login' with a real password
cvs.exe [checkout aborted]: error reading from server cvs-pserver.sourceforge.net: 0: no such file or directory

how strange... looks like ill have to stick to downloading the tarballs and using a local cvs source. oh well...

some are lucky some are not.

[Nuka1195]

have you guys tried deleting the whole xbmc folder?

[C-Quel]

yes... reinstalled tortoise. disabled firewall. i've tried everything! i'm sure we are being blocked.

download (source code) perfectly with this line and cvs.exe :

"%cvs%" -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous:@cvs-pserver.sourceforge.net:443/cvsroot/xbmc checkout xbmc

only appears at finish the message "cvs.exe checkout: dying gasps from cvs-pserver.sourceforge.net unexpected". compiled and run ok.

not download with this line and cvs.exe :

"%cvs%" -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/xbmc checkout xbmc

[B4tm4n]

are you using a proxy ?
if not try using one, incase you are been blocked.

do yoiu guys use this http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=427601

after adding the working code and rebuilding, it works.

[C-Quel]

makes no difference to me at all... still does not work!

[MajorTom]

have you tried checking out to the root of c:\ .... shouldn't make any difference i guess but i had problems trying to checkout to anything other than just c:\ in the past..... good luck

i've been getting the following error for a few days now when trying to update :

cvs update -p -a -d (in directory e:\sources\xbmc\
cvs [update aborted]: unrecognized auth response from cvs.sourceforge.net: m -!- client or server timeout occurred!

***** cvs exited normally with code 1 *****

i use the latest wincvs but i also get the same error with tortoisecvs. any suggestions ?

[HarshReality]

yep, try and download something else. going after this particular cvs is a lost cause. i hit the link for the daily tarball and it started... for a momment i was tickled until it finished. after i opened it it was like deformed, the contents were misnamed and there were files missing.
