[cl-cookbook-contrib] CVS problems

[Nick L. <nd...@ra...>]

Hi,

I have an overnight script to update my local copy of the
cookbook. It started failing (a couple of months ago, but I've been
too busy to do anything about it) and I haven't a clue why. Has anyone
else had problems with CVS access to cl-cookbook?

It's not a cron environment issue, as I can reproduce the problem by
typing into a shell, thus:

    CVSROOT=:pserver:nic...@cv...:/cvsroot/cl-cookbook
    CVS_RSH=ssh
    HOME=/home/nick

    export CVSROOT
    export CVS_RSH
    export HOME

    cd /p4/user/ndl/lisp/cookbook
    /usr/bin/cvs -d:pserver:nic...@cv...:/cvsroot/cl-cookbook update

=>

    cvs [update aborted]: connect to cvs.cl-cookbook.sourceforge.net:2401 failed: Connection timed out


- nick (who wonders why he has both set CVSROOT and specified the -d
  argument, but doubts whether that's the problem)
