emacs build broken?

emacs build broken?

[rustom]

I did  (for a emacs 23 build)
$cvs update -dP
$make distclean
make bootstrap
After a lot of grinding it stops at (last few lines)

Generating autoloads for mail/rmailmm.el...
Generating autoloads for mail/rmailmsc.el...
Generating autoloads for mail/rmailout.el...
Generating autoloads for mail/rmailout.el...done
Generating autoloads for mail/rmailsort.el...

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/siva/pdsw/emacs/src'
make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/siva/pdsw/emacs'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

When I did downloaded a fresh tar.bz2 of 23.1 it has compiled ok.
So I guess this is a broken build.

So ok... during development builds can break.
My question is how do I do a cvs update (rather than a full download)
and yet stay with relatively stable emacs versions?

I forgot to mention that I did the configure step as well (there would
be no make without it)

 ./configure --with-x-toolkit=gtk --prefix=$HOME/local

Didn't emacs move to bazaar for good? (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/
BzrForEmacsDevs)

Heh! And 'bout time! (You meant to give another link I guess?)

The other day I read a nice post http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2009/03/30/emacs-dired-rename-files.html
which shows a neat way to rename files in dired.

Poking around there I also learnt that EMACS is the Editor for Middle
Aged Computer Scientists :-(
If we stuck around with things like cvs a bit longer the other part of
the acronym will also become true (GNU = Generally Not Used)
He also (see http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2008/04/16/ )

Ok so

http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/files

seems broken

I wonder which is worse and antediluvian cvs or a broken bzr?

I've pulled down the emacs bzr repository both today and yesterday
on different machines (i.e. full/heave bzr checkout) and it works fine. 

Note that the URL for the bzr checkout is

http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk/

while 

http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/emacs/trunk/ 

is the log head for browsing the repository, which may well be broken.
(the difference is /r/ in one and /lh/ in the other).

On both systems, emacs built without errors. The initial heavy checkout
does take a while i.e. 20+ minutes on a fairly fast conneciton. However,
after that, updates are quite fast.

Yes, it got accidentally truncated:

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BzrForEmacsDevs

(hope it doesn't happen this time)
