Subject: ANNOUNCE: bug in cvsup server found and fixed
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-announce&m=91727081602887

Hi!

With the help of Alex Zepeda <garbanzo@hooked.net> and
John Polstra <jdp@polstra.com> (the author of the
cvsup package) we managed to increase the usabilty
of the cvsup service proviced on cvs.kde.org.

Many people reported times out and unfinished connections
to this server and those problems made this service quite
unusable. John and I found out, that this happened because
of a bug in the Modula3 compiler used for building the
cvsup software. The created binary couldn't handle two
requests at the same time and waited til one was finished
before it served the second.

This bug has been fixed in the compiler and I installed
the new binary this morning. So I would like to invite
everyone to test it again :)

Greetings, Stephan
P.S. We still need more mirrors. If you have a host,
that is connected fast enough, feel free to contact 
Mark Huizer <xaa@xaa.iae.nl> for seting up a mirror.
