Description Austin Riddle CLA 2011-02-01 09:46:58 EST 
There is some great frustration with using anonymous pserver in CVS for
building projects because of an approximate 8 hour delay.  Is there any way that we can decrease the update latency between these repos?

Thanks.

Our CVS sync mechanism is tied to the cvslog facility.  Essentially, when a commit is made, the containing directory is logged and synced within minutes.

For the most part, it works quite well, but it may be failing for specific directories.  Is there a project/module that is frequently stale?

I don't know of a certain project that has problems but I remember times when I was waiting for a certain tag to appear in the RAP pserver CVS for several hours. Once I even had the case that certain projects were up-to-date and others not, which results in an inconsistent repository and produced weird compile errors. That would be the case of "failing for specific directories", right?

Maybe those were just temporary issues, but if those problems appear more often, they really have the potential to scare people away.
