[Anthill] cvs log problems

Thu Apr 15 08:26:08 CDT 2004

Hi Rob,

The thing is it doesn't crash, it freezes or hangs. And there can be a
subtle difference, it could be in an infinite loop or just a very very long
one :-)

I'll update you all if I find anything else - still waiting for access to
another AIX machine!

Thanks,
Oisin

The reason why I asked is that I wouldn't have expected a crash even if
the timezone was messed up.  Maybe different/wrong results but certainly
not a crash.

Thanks for confirming the obvious - it tends to bite me when I look for
the complex solution.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply!

Yes, there was the same version of CVS on both machines, we've also
tried updating the version to the latest.

Something tells me that this is a silly TimeZone / Locale problem as
Maciej predicted, but I also feel that this is a problem with my OS
settings.

If I do a <date> command, I get 
$ date
Thursday April 15 09:31:12 IST 2004

On the machine that's working, and 
anthill at elvira$ date
Thu Apr 15 09:36:17 Eire 2004

On the machine that's not.

I think this is due to the TZ environment variable being set to Eire on
both machines.

Thanks anyways,

Oisin

Have you checked the version of cvs?

Just asking the obvious questions...

Hi Maciej,

Thanks for your help, exactly, the cvs log command will just hang. 

I've run the cvs log command with a -t (to enable trace) but there's not
much more output, just a couple of lines giving the cvs root and saying
that its connecting to it.

I'll check with another AIX machine and let you know if it too has
trouble with the translation.

Thanks again for your help,

Regards,
Oisin

Oisin,

Do you mean that the cvs log command hangs when run on AIX?

The timezone issue is probably related to the cvs client for AIX. 
Internally, cvs uses GMT dates when communicating between the client and

server: it is the cvs client that performs the translation between the 
local timezone and GMT and back again.  It seems that the AIX cvs client

does not perform this translation.

Searching the archives is probably possible via gmane.  You can access
