(I don't connect to the Internet very often.) I was trying to download for about four hours this morning, but not for 6 hours. It was clearly something wrong. This afternoon, I moved my /usr/local/src/emacs/ directory to /usr/local/src/emacs-09dec29 and restarted, following the http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BzrForEmacsDevs document exactly. I gave up after a few hours, after getting 181780 kilobytes according to `du -s'. According to the progress meter, the download was less than half done. I have an old laptop with a half gigabyte of RAM. The wireless connection I use might be broken (I cannot fix it -- it is not mine, but is the only way I can connect. It works for other connections, as you can see: I am SSH'd to fp.gnu.org to mail this message, but am writing conveniently on a different Emacs on my home machine.) In any case, I thought I had downloaded a bzr version that worked yesterday (I used it successfully today for other things) but it turned out to fail with sending mail so I have started an older Emacs and am using that to write this message. Also, because of a change in Debian testing, I am no longer coming into X as `bob' but doing the same as `root' with `sudo -i -u bob rxvt' in my root Enlightenment .xinitrc file. I have tried to download the latest CVS version every morning and build it with the following, and then use it: (progn (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/") (cvs-update "/usr/local/src/emacs/" '("-dPA"))) ;; usually takes less than half a minute and 18k (progn (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/") (compile "time make -k -C lisp autoloads EMACS=/usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs && \ cd lisp && \ time make cvs-update EMACS=/usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs && \ cd /usr/local/src/emacs/ && \ time make info html")) ;; make may take 20 minutes; usually takes a minute or so (progn (cd "/usr/local/src/emacs/") (compile "time make -k")) So far, so good! Only occasionally has there been trouble and it has been fixed within 24 hours. But I may not be able to download the bzr version. What should I do? Please remember, I am dumber than I was. -- Robert J. Chassell bob@gnu.org bob@rattlesnake.com http://www.rattlesnake.com http://www.teak.cc
