Hello Graham,

Thanks for the update. The read-only CVS server can be somewhat unstable at times, but this looks like a new error I have not seen before. I am looking into it now and will send an update when the issue is resolved.

Hi MGH folks,

I am attempting to download the source via CVS as described here:

http://freesurfer.net/fswiki/ReadOnlyCVS

using:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@fsvm.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu:/usr/fscvsroot checkout -P -r release_5_3_0 dev

(ie: 5.3.0 source)

The CVS process is consistently stopping about 760 files into the process, with the final lines of output being:

---

cvs checkout: Updating dev/distribution/trctrain U dev/distribution/trctrain/Makefile.am Terminated with fatal signal 9

---

After the first attempt got stuck here, I attempted to run the checkout command again. CVS quickly displays a bunch of "Updating xxxxx" where xxxxx is all the directories already downloaded, then gets to trctrain and stops indefinitely. (I then killed it using Ctl-C)

I then created a new local directory and restarted from scratch. The checkout proceeded apace, and then got stuck at the same place (trctrain), with same failure message.

So... I'm thinking it might be something at your end, maybe disk problems in whatever files come next after the last one above?

FWIW, I'm using cvs as installed with Mint 15, which is 1.12.13-MirDebian-9 (client/server)
