I've been trying to get 1.2 from CVS the last couple of days, but with no luck. Does anybody know when CVS will be up again, or if anything is being done to fix the problem?
I get this (and sometimes other messages, and keep trying):
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ogre login
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/ogre
CVS password:
cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from cvs.sourceforge.net: M -!- Client or Server timeout occurred!
Ah HA! It's not just me! I finally gave up and just downloaded the RC from the downloads section. Over-wrote my old files and recompiled with zero errors.
The 'anonymous rejected' messages just mean the server is over capacity. Play click-fest on the okay button and you'll eventually make it. (Took me half an hour once.)
We know that.
I think I tried way over 200 times (probably more) yesterday - and the same today. I had the console window open all evening and just retried all the time whilst doing other things.

Aye, and if you click okay enough (no password needed) you'll eventually get in. You've actually got to succeed twice in a row... Each command plays roulette with CVS... Login and then Update both need to run. (Or checkout, if that's where you're at.) But it's possible! (I did it like 5 times the other day.)
Edit: Oh, I see there's an actual outage this time. Bummer.
Heh, yeah. Funny, I worked on a project on SF for a while and we had occasional problems with CVS, but nothing like this. Do they allot bandwidth according to the project, instead of overall or something? (Meaning busy projects get the same cvs time as non-busy ones.) The project I worked on isn't busy by any stretch of the imagination. (I still plan to help more on it eventually, but I've done most of the stuff on it I wanted to help with, and my last idea didn't generate much enthusiasm. It was too complicated to bother just for my own sake.)

Man, they must have known I needed to get at the Ogre Addons and they are keeping me out.
Does someone have the Add-ons somewhere off line? ..Off Line means not on Source Forge. If not, maybe my company -- Grefuga Studios -- can donate some bandwidth to hold the non-downloadable items such as Add-ons...like a weekly snap shot or something....to keep the community running in cases of long down time like this.
I knew I shouldn't have formatted my machine when I did
The CVS services are still down. Very frustrating.
Would it be difficult to simply keep a fairly-current zip file of the addons on the Ogre site somewhere, along with Ogre itself? That would get around all these problems.
They were up for a second over the weekend...could have just been the "partial" they refer to on the page telling us that it is down.
Once it came back up I had planned on grabbing the addons section (every week or so) and providing it on my site...unless Sinbad or another Vet tells me not to
