Is it really cvs? The version reporting is working for me: $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/var/cvs/e version Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.21 (client/server) Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.17 (client/server) But I can reproduce the problem with git-cvsimport. git main branch, cvsps 2.1. I'm quite sure that it's a bug in cvsps. It displays such things on x86_64, but works properly on 32-bit PowerPC. x86_64: $ cvsps --cvs-direct -A -u --root :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/var/cvs/e e17 connect error: Network is unreachable WARNING: malformed CVS version: no data WARNING: malformed CVS version str: (UNKNOWN CLIENT) WARNING: Your CVS client version: [(UNKNOWN CLIENT)] and/or server version: [(UNKNOWN SERVER)] ppc: $ cvsps --cvs-direct -A -u --root :pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/var/cvs/e e17 cvs_direct initialized to CVSROOT /var/cvs/e cvs rlog: Logging e17 cvs rlog: Logging e17/CVSROOT cvs rlog: Logging e17/apps cvs rlog: Logging e17/apps/e cvs rlog: Logging e17/apps/e/client ... Both are cvsps 2.1 on Fedora Core 5. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
