[git failure] failure pulling latest Linus tree

[git failure] failure pulling latest Linus tree

[Jes Sorensen]

Hi,

This morning I got in and tried to pull the tree from vger, however I
get the following strange error message:

jes@eye:~/src/kernel/linus/linux-2.6> git pull
fatal: unexpected EOF
Fetch failure:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
jes@eye:~/src/kernel/linus/linux-2.6> git --version
git version 1.4.1.1

Known error? git tree corrupted or need for a new version of git?

Cheers,
Jes

For some reason, the mirroring seems to be really slow or broken to one of 
the public servers (zeus-pub1). It looks to be affecting gitweb too (ie 
www1.kernel.org is busted, while www2.kernel.org seems ok)

For some reason which we haven't been able to track down yet, the recent 
load imposed by FC6 caused zeus1's load to skyrocket, but not zeus2's... 
it's largely a mystery.

HOWEVER, git 1.4.3 seems to have been bad chicken.  When we ran it we 
got a neverending stream of segfaults in the logs.

Could you provide some details, please? Ideally a backtrace or
something? Also, it might be a good idea to use 1.4.3.2 since it fixes a
problem with compatibility of git-daemon and older git clients.

Thanks,

I'm afraid I can't anymore since I've flushed those binaries.  1.4.3.2 
works fine, it seems, but we hadn't gotten that update until yesterday.

Would kernel.org prefer RPM cut on a FC6 box now?

If that is git-daemon dying when talking to older clients, that
has been fixed in 1.4.3.2 (it's virtual hosting support had an
off-by-one wrong check to tell older clients from newer one).

Sorry about that -- we heard about the incompatibility this
Monday.

No; since we have now (finally) archieved "OS parity" we're going to 
keep hera, zeus1, and zeus2 in sync going forward.

This stuff happens... it's dealt with now.

Please, are there more gitweb services of kernel.org's one?

I know this may be stupid as anyone can git clone && etc. But in my
case all i need (mostly) is history and logs (i've started my devel
from patches, and they are mirrored pretty good).

TIA.

No, this is due to the load on the servers being very high at the 
moment.  The only thing that can help that is a dedicated git server, 
which we currently don't have equipment for.
