I want to solve a problem. I'm glad there was no perceived offense. BTW, I have no preconceptions. How could I have any, when I don't know you and haven't heard anything to bias me? > Here is my point: > > SER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND [more hung cvs-related processes] The tools that seem to make cvs hang (mirror-* -> git-cvsimport -> cvsps -> cvs) are solely to synchronize a mirrored git repository from the cvs one. Thus, removing these tools would not affect whether sourceware.org provides a git server. Those same scripts work fine on at least three other systems (one of which is also RHEL 4). However, those systems all use cvs-1.12.13, while sourceware is using cvs-1.11.15. I've built 1.12.13 with -g and installed it in my own ~/bin directory so the scripts will use that. We'll see if that fixes the problem. If not, I'll debug it, so one way or another, this problem should last no longer than a day or so more.
