slime: CVS login failed

Reported by: charles@… Owned by: easye
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.0.3
Keywords: Cc: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Port: slime

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

I get the following error message when installing slime:

Macintosh:~ charleseliason$ sudo port install slime
--->  Computing dependencies for slime
--->  Fetching slime
Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: CVS login failed
Log for slime is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_slime/slime/main.log
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I had searched previous tickets in reference to this issue and had thought that this error was fixed in version 2.0.3. I have verified version 2.0.3 by:

Macintosh:~ charleseliason$ sudo port selfupdate
Password:
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.0.2 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.0.3 downloaded.
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  MacPorts base is outdated, installing new version 2.0.3
Installing new MacPorts release in /opt/local as root:admin; permissions 0755; Tcl-Package in /Library/Tcl

I am attaching my log file.

Thanks,
Charles

I thought that I might add that I am running mac osx 10.5.8 and had downloaded the dmg file from the mac ports home page installation for lion.

Thanks, Charles

Summary: Can not install Slimeslime: CVS login failed

You may be thinking of #31073, a general problem fetching from version control systems including CVS, which was introduced in MacPorts 2.0.2 an fixed in MacPorts 2.0.3. That problem had produced the strange error message " does not exist in". The error you are experiencing here is a different error: "CVS login failed". The log elaborates: "connect to common-lisp.net(74.115.254.14):2401 failed: Operation timed out". I am able to fetch slime just fine right now. Can you clean and try again to verify it was not just a temporary problem with their server?

sudo port clean slime

If that does not work, are you on a corporate or otherwise restricted network that might be blocking access to CVS's port 2401? Try accessing other CVS servers, or ask your network administrators if you don't know.

Thank you for your reply. And thanks for pointing out how to properly post an error report. I did clean, and did try to install slime, same result. I'll try again from a different server.

Thanks, Charles

Other ports you could try that use the cvs fetch mechanism are Chmox, OSXPal, vineserver...

When I got into my office this morning I was able to install slime from my office network using the local phone provider for internet access. In case anyone is interested, I had been working at home using a mobile hotspot hub from sprint. I honestly have no idea why the difficulty installing this particular port, slime, as I had installed emacs, clisp, and scbl without any problems.

If anyone does know why the difference I would be interested to know. It would seem that possibly there is something unique to slime in regards to CVS. Possibly the other ports do not logon to the CVS port 2401.

I don't have the logs for the previous installs to check.

Thanks for the help ryandesign

Resolution: invalid
Status: newclosed

emacs, clisp and sbcl are all normal ports that fetch normal distfiles from a normal web site. slime, on the other hand, has to connect to a CVS server to download the source. So it seems that your Sprint mobile hotspot does not allow CVS connections. You'll have to talk with Sprint about that if you want that changed.
