I just did a 'get latest' from CVS, and now I can't get gimp to compile. It seems that core/gimpdrawable.c and core/gimpdrawable.h are missing. There is a log comment which mentions a broken pipe during a commit, so it looks like those files just slipped through the cracks. Nothing major, but I thought I should mention it to somebody :-)

Simply "cvs update" your local tree again. A broken pipe can happen and is nothing to worry about. We can do nothing about that.

If you are using anonymous cvs, consider using anoncvs3.gnome.org, since this apparently is the most stable one. Also hardcoding an anoncvs-server is a good idea, since they might get out of sync and you'll end up with a broken tree.

Hope this helps, Simon

No, I meant that the broken pipe happened during the _commit_, and that core/ gimpdrawable.h and .c are completely missing from the repository.

Definitely not. The problem is solely on one or some of the anoncvs server.

Ahhh... I'm using anonymous cvs via anoncvs.gimp.org. I guess that repository is a mirror. I'll change over to use anoncvs3.gnome.org instead - thanks for the tip!

Anyway, anoncvs.gimp.org is still missing those files. I don't know how it's all set up, but it's probably worth someone fixing it, as the instructions on gimp.org refer to that repository.

anoncvs.gimp.org is anoncvs.gnome.org which is a DNS round robin to a bunch of anoncvs servers. So every time you ask for an IP address for anoncvs.gimp.org, you get a different server. Unfortunately at least one seems to be broken.
