Re: new (writable) emacs arch repository on savannah: emacs@sv.gnu.org

[CHENG Gao <chenggao@gmail.com>]

I have tried to get Emacs source from new arch repo unsuccessfully. Here
are details which may help you in finding problem and solution.

1. Since I use MacOSX, I installed arch with darwinports. The version is
   1.3.3.
2. Setup my id.
3. Created ~/arch/ for all arch repos.
4. Register new arch repo
,----
| $ tla register-archive http://arch.sv.gnu.org/archives/emacs 
| Failed to access file '.archive-version'
| Could not determine archive format, guessing to be tla 1.0
| Registering archive: emacs@sv.gnu.org
`----
I trust you are using Gnu Arc 1. Maybe you need setup arch version to
suppress the error message.

I have checked and archive is registered successfully.

5. Import your pgp key
,----
| $ gpg --search-keys --keyserver pgp.mit.edu miles@gnu.org
| gpg: searching for "miles@gnu.org" from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
| (1)     Miles Bader (fencepost) <miles@gnu.org>
|         Miles Bader (fencepost) <miles@gnu.org>
|           1024 bit DSA key 96BE5053, created: 2003-12-26
| (2)     Miles Bader <miles@gnu.org>
|         Miles Bader <miles@lsi.nec.co.jp>
|           1024 bit DSA key 02B1FC4C, created: 2003-12-11
| Enter number(s), N)ext, or Q)uit > 1
| gpg: requesting key 96BE5053 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
| gpg: key 96BE5053: duplicated user ID detected - merged
| gpg: key 96BE5053: public key "Miles Bader (fencepost) <miles@gnu.org>" imported
| gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model
| gpg: depth: 0  valid:   1  signed:   0  trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u
| gpg: Total number processed: 1
| gpg:               imported: 1
`----
Maybe I made mistake here. I imported number 1, but seems it's for
fencepost not for Emacs arch.

6. Get emacs--devo--0 (same as CVS Trunk)
,----
| $ tla get emacs@sv.gnu.org/emacs--devo--0 emacs
| Failed to access file '.archive-version'
| Could not determine archive format, guessing to be tla 1.0
| * from archive cached: emacs@sv.gnu.org/emacs--devo--0--base-0
| webdav error: Could not read response body: Connection reset by peer
| shgog:~/arch shgog$ 
| gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
| tar: Child returned status 1
| tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
`----
I had to stop it with Ctrl-c.

7. In case  it's owing to wrong gpg key, I imported Stephan's
,----
| $ gpg --search-keys --keyserver pgp.mit.edu monnier@iro.umontreal.ca
| gpg: searching for "monnier@iro.umontreal.ca" from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
| (1)     Stefan Monnier (Emacs-Arch) <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca>
|           1024 bit DSA key A25A1657, created: 2006-01-20
| (2)     Stefan Monnier (alfajor) <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca>
|           1024 bit DSA key 5C63C139, created: 2004-12-09
| (3)     Stefan Monnier (DIRO) <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca>
|           1024 bit DSA key EFB7B90F, created: 2004-02-02
| Enter number(s), N)ext, or Q)uit > 1
| gpg: requesting key A25A1657 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
| gpg: key A25A1657: public key "Stefan Monnier (Emacs-Arch) <monnier@iro.umontreal.ca>" imported
| gpg: Total number processed: 1
| gpg:               imported: 1
`----
It's clear I imported the right key.

8. Still no joy
,----
| $ tla get emacs@sv.gnu.org/emacs--devo--0 emacs
| Failed to access file '.archive-version'
| Could not determine archive format, guessing to be tla 1.0
| * from archive cached: emacs@sv.gnu.org/emacs--devo--0--base-0
| webdav error: Could not read response body: Connection reset by peer
| shgog:~/arch shgog$ 
| gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
| tar: Child returned status 1
| tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
`----

So seems I have to stick to CVS.

Who is the culprit? tla? server?
