Emacs bzr access problems

Emacs bzr access problems

[Christoph Scholtes]

Since a couple of days ago (that's when I first noticed it) I am having 
trouble updating my local bzr repos from the Emacs trunk.

The branch set up with ssh works fine. The ones without ssh, branched 
from `nosmart+bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk' won't update on 
`bzr pull'.

The error I get is:
Using saved parent location: bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk/
bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check 
connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist.

Not sure if this is an Emacs bzr problem or a general bzr problem. The 
problem exists on Windows (bzr v2.3.3) as well as GNU/Linux (bzr v2.3.4).

Anybody else having issues like this?

Yep, same, just noticed it a few hours ago.

I pulled up to the rev from Sat 2011-07-30 20:11:05 -0400 fine, if that
helps.

I forwarded this to the Savannah admins.

FWIW, bzr+ssh access works fine for me, but that doesn't help you.

Thanks!

Yes, I can confirm this. I also have an bzr+ssh branch of the trunk 
which updates fine. I just noticed that my nightly builds using Jenkins 
were failing. That setup pulls into a regular (non-ssh) branch.

Let's see what the admins have to say.

Not for me. Works neither in Windows nor GNU/Linux.

Actually, the problem is intermittent. I was just able to pull the 
latest revision (on Windows), but the next pull failed again with the 
previous error message.

Please try again.  I'm told that the problem should be solved.

Still getting the following error:
bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check
connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist

My bzr version is 2.3.4.

Works on Windows where the branch is only a couple of revisions behind.

On GNU/Linux (Arch, bzr v2.3.4) where the trunk branch is at 104259 it 
starts pulling the revisions but after a while stops with the same error 
as before.

What protocol does this old branch use?  (Look in
.bzr/branch/branch.conf if you don't remember.)  Does the branch on
Windows use the same protocol?

The file contains a single line on both systems:

parent_location = bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk/

Try using nosmart+, i.e.

  bzr up nosmart+bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk

I just branched the whole trunk afresh: it worked with nosmart+bzr://,
but failed with bzr://.

I will talk to the Savannah admins again.  Thanks for trying this.

I changed the branch.conf and added the nosmart+ part. Now the GNU/Linux 
branch updated fine.

Thanks for looking at this.

Can people please try again with bzr:// ?  Savannah admins think it
might work now.

Please report back any kind of results, thanks.

Yes. It seems to work. On GNU/Linux, I changed the branch back to bzr:// 
and successfully pulled. Then I did a fresh test checkout from the trunk 
and it completed also. Windows also works.

Thanks again.

It's intermitently down again.

Re: Emacs bzr access problems

[Tim Cross]

Yep, I've been trying to update for the last 5 hours or so. It
connects, starts the 'finding revisions' stage, initially, looks OK,
but then the transfer rate drops down to 1KB/s and just dribbles on
and on and ......

Should have mentioned, I'm accessing via
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk

You should use bzr://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/trunk instead, it at
least fails immediately ;-)

I posted a request to the admins to fix this.  bzr+ssh does work
normally, but that only helps those who have write access.

I've tried nosmart+bzr: and bzr: and both fail, after an hour of downloading.

Fail how?  Please show at least the error message (on the screen and
in your .bzr.log file).  Please also show the full bzr command you
invoked (was it an initial "bzr branch" command or just "bzr update"?)
Better yet, post all that information directly to the appropriate list
savannah-hackers-public@gnu.org, which is where the Savannah admins
will see it and act on it.

In any case, this is a different problem: the original one was that it
wouldn't even start.

OK I'll follow up there.

Ok, sorry - I found this thread after I googled for the error message I got.

It's a pain to get emacs with 'bzr branch', i had same issue each time i
tried.
You should try with rsync, see this thread:
