[Quickfix-developers] CVS issues...

[Tom D. <to...@di...>]

On another SourceForge project I'm involved with, we discovered that the 
error message "login aborted" is the normal response (at least on 
SourceForge) when the CVS server is overloaded.  This is apparently its 
load-limiting mechanism: to refuse logins.  The obscure error message 
may be intended to introduce a delay between retries, but I'm not sure 
about that part <smile>.

In any case, whether you use the anonymous login or the account login, 
retrying enough times will make it work.  I just checked out the 
quickfixj tree, and it took me about 10 tries with the login command and 
about 15 with the co command -- but eventually, it worked.
