CVS pserver down?

seeing the same:

$ cvs -q up -rDRUPAL-5--2
cvs [update aborted]: connect to cvs.drupal.org(140.211.166.54):2401 failed: Operation timed out

@Damien - do you mean the firewall at OSUOSL?

Just wanted to "ditto", since I'm going to subscribe anyway. ;)

same here haven't been able to connect to CVS at all this afternoon.

Just confirming, it seems to still be down :(

One more report that CVS is not accessible, via the command line at least. I note that the cvs browser at http://cvs.drupal.org seems to be working.

subscribing

CVS over SSH works okay. (Core committers have extra security.) CVS done locally works fine and quickly, but has the same issue on shell.drupal.org. The load on the machine is slightly high with Apache processes, which seems okay.

I am guessing this is some sort of network issue on that machine, unless local CVS optimizes around using the network.

Full points to whoever guessed firewall. Somehow a rule was lost, I'm tracking down how, but the issue is fixed temporarily as of now.

This is fixed, the copy rule for the firewall has been added back. Thanks for reporting.

I'm not able to login to cvs, I'm getting error while using cvs commandline client or tortoisecvs.

Image is attached for further details, please resolve this as I'm short of releasing my first ever theme, I already created project named "Shanu Blue Theme", my cvs username is "Shanu".

Thanks!

I can access the cvs server just fine. Are you behind a firewall?

I disabled my winxp firewall, but same result.

I'm Frustrated.

Any successful help?

Can you get to the webcvs repo? http://cvs.drupal.org

From web browser, yes I successfully get to the repo.

Or you mean from CVS itself, I telnet to cvs.drupal.org 2401, but it could not connect.

I'm not able to release my theme for download. In the meantime I provide download from my website.

I installed cygwin package on my windows XP box, and tried again with the help of cvs hanbook on Drupal.org, but getting same connection time out error.

Screen-shot is attached.

I also tried TortoiseCVS, but can't succeeded.

Please come up with valid solution.

Thanks!

try:

ping cvs.drupal.org

and show us the result..

I don't need to see the output of ping. If you can get to port 80 on cvs.drupal.org and not port 2401 that is very likely an egress firewall on your side. We don't ever block IPs specifically by port. Can you try this:

telnet cvs.uclinux.org 2401

and post the output here.

@Narayan Newton

I tried what you've suggested, and showing the results [See Attached Image].

As suggested, it sounds like a firewall issue. BTW, even the ping results are very slow. I just did it with a 93 ms average (which is slow for most sites for me).

Yes, if you can't get to cvs.uclinux, I'm afraid I can't help you. This is not an issue with the server or routes to the server. There is a firewall that is blocking your connections out. You should double check your router and see if its doing something to prevent this.

Ok, I'll see.

One question, can i use SVN[TortoiseSVN] instead of CVS?
