Trying CVS update...

[jesterbam]

OK I will apoligize upfront. I have not used CVS update since tarballs were provided and the old CVS was so problematic.

I have patched after each SEQ patch break. To day I figure it was time to clean things up a bit and do a CVS update like the big boys.

In doing my research....I know not to ask without looking ..ALOT I found:

In the FAQ:
2.5 - Where/How do I download ShowEQ?
Make sure you are logged in as the user 'root'. From a terminal window type the following, pressing the return key when prompted for a password (it is blank):
# cd /
# cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq login
Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/cvsroot/seq
CVS password:
# cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq co showeq

After I hit ENTER for the password the cursor goes to the left and sits there until it eventually times out.

OK so I tried: export CVSROOT=server:[email protected] :/cvsroot/seq
cvs login
From the post http://www.showeq.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4910

same result...time out

Unfortunately alot of the links that I think will have the answer are pointing (i think) to the old site so I get dead links.

Is CVS still flacky and I need to just pound it till it works?

The FAQ needs updating.

The new link is cvs.sourceforge.net (seq part was removed)

If you already have the beta version installed you can update with

export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq
cvs login (just hit return when asked for password)
cvs update


If its the first install try

export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq
cvs login (just hit return when asked for password)
cvs co -r pre_5_0_beta showeq


(the smilely face in the above example is actually a : followed by p for those that didnt know it thinks Im trying to make a smiley icon and changes it so its really : pserver without the space)

[jesterbam]

Thanks guys...

I already have SEQ beta running including the latest opcode patches but was just trying to clean things up (and document the steps so I dont have to ask again).

I tried Loco steps using directly cutting and pasting from Loco's script and the first try it timed out. The second time I got to:
[root@localhost showeq]# cvs update
Hangs again and times out.

I keep the source files in root/showeq <-- it that the problem should I have rename showeq to seq?

Sorry to be a pain

I tried changing showeq dir to seq dir and it still hangs after [root@localhost seq]# cvs update

I am beginning to think the CVS is still flacky.

The FAQ needs updating.

Yeah, sorry about that...

I haven't played EQ in a couple of months and I should have passed this on to someone else a while ago. The problem is that the password to the original FAQ on the macsrule site was either changed, or reset, or something quite a long time ago, and no one has access to change it anymore. I'm not even sure how the hosting was obtained in the first place, to be honest, except that I got a PM from Ratt with the info when I volunteered to maintain it. I have since asked about it and he doesn't have the pw either.

I have a mostly updated FAQ on my machine in my office, but I'm traveling on business until the end of next week. When I get back I'll post that FAQ here and someone with the time, motivation, and who actively still reads these boards can take it over.

Edit: Maybe BA could host the FAQ, since he hosts the filters and such. BA, I'll get ahold of you when I get back and we can talk.

it was the CVS.....this morning using SHIFT + UP Arrow I reentered the exact lines that failed yesterday and this morning I was able to get into CVS without problems. Now the rest of the process maybe another thread. Thanks folks for helping. Your help pointed to the CVS as the problem, so I waited untill this morning instead of getting frustrated.

Something isn't right here. It looks like you are typing the correct address, but it is using the wrong one.

ROOT files trump the CVSROOT variable...

locate ROOT

Finally figured it out..
I've been hand cramming patches. And my /showeq/CVS/Root file was pointing to the old old old address.. :eek:

Did a fresh install this morning, and it went flawlessly. So everyone knows, the server is up and working fine.

[tonni]

i have made all i could to downlosd from CVS but no luck is there anyone posting a tarball ??
thx in advance

[Zandramas]

Check my newbie install guide.. Its all your gonna need even if yer not a newbie.. Its a complete install guide.. Linux is easy once you figure out how it works.. The main problem people have is downloading showeq.. Then having the right equipment to use it, it seems.

Hey all. Am having a small issue with the cvs syste. This is what I see when trying to do an update. Note that my /seq/showeq/cvs/root file has this for an entry:

:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq

[root@localhost seq]# export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/seq
[root@localhost seq]# cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:[email protected]:2401/cvsroot/seq
CVS password:
[root@localhost seq]# cvs -z3 update
? showeq/7-14-patch.txt
? showeq/BACKUP
? showeq/autom4te-2.53.cache
? showeq/autom4te.cache
? showeq/eqstr_us.txt
? showeq/spells_us.txt
? showeq/stamp-h1
cvs update: Updating showeq
cvs [update aborted]: connect to cvs.seq.sourceforge.net(66.35.250.209):2401 failed: Connection timed out

Notice hte above ip address (66.35.250.209). cvs.sourceforge.net actually resolves to
66.35.250.207.

Was wondering if some kind soul might point me in the right direction to resolve this. I am hoping that there is a way to specify the ip in hte update command, but so far have been unable to find it.

Thank you
Sky Genie

locate ROOT

change all that it finds in the various subdirectories...

The answer to your problem is IN THIS THREAD! Just read back a few posts.
