[Ecls-list] About CVS delays

[Juan Jose Garcia Ripoll]

 From the SourceForge RSS:

"As of 2003-11-04, cutover of pserver-based CVS service and ViewCVS 
access to repositories to the new CVS infrastructure has been completed. 
Synchronization of data from the primary CVS server to the new CVS 
infrastructure now occurs every 5 hours (formerly once per day). 
Performance of pserver-based CVS access and ViewCVS access has been 
significantly improved; connection shedding (formerly used to cap the 
total number of simultaneous CVS connections) has been disabled."

This means anonymous CVS is updated with a 5 hours delay with respect to 
developer's CVS. However, this is only part of a major revamp of the CVS 
sever to completely eliminate delays, as the following feed shows:

"As per the 2004-05-31 site mailing, the SourceForge.net team is working 
to complete our second major CVS infrastructure upgrade (the first was 
done more than a year ago). This infrastructure upgrade will eliminate 
the delay between developer and non-developer CVS (presently a 5 hour 
sync delay). In coming weeks, a significant amount of new hardware will 
be installed and other service enhancements will be rolled out. This 
notice is being posted to alert you to our revised schedule. We are 
confident that the end-product will exceed the performance requirements 
we originally devised. This upgrade is happening in pieces; new features 
and fixes are already being rolled out. The hardware cutover will occur 
at the end of this upgrade process (we are waiting for the replacement 
hardware to arrive). To monitor the progress of this project, please 
watch Site Doc I9 
(file:///docman/display_doc.php?docid=19242&group_id=1#top) for 
announcements."
