Perforce stall when downloading Zimbra source code

[hsramneb]

I have tried numerous times to get the source code out of perforce.

export P4PORT=codes.zimbra.com:2666
./p4 -u public -P public1234 -c public-view sync //depot/zcs/FRANKLIN/ZimbraWebClient/...

It seems to stall very soon after I start the sync. I only ever get about three files:

blm@li18-23:/home/public/p4/FRANKLIN/ZimbraWebClient$ find .
.
./WebRoot
./WebRoot/js
./WebRoot/js/zimbraAdmin
./WebRoot/js/zimbraAdmin/common
./WebRoot/js/zimbraAdmin/common/ZaOverviewPanelController.js
./WebRoot/js/zimbraMail
./WebRoot/js/zimbraMail/mail
./WebRoot/js/zimbraMail/mail/model
./WebRoot/js/zimbraMail/mail/model/ZmMailMsg.js
./WebRoot/js/zimbraMail/mail/view
./WebRoot/js/zimbraMail/mail/view/ZmMailMsgView.js
blm@li18-23:/home/public/p4/FRANKLIN/ZimbraWebClient$

Would it be possible for someone to create tarballs of the source code for recent versions of Zimbra?

Try a -f argument.

Hi there,

I am trying to download the latest stable sources using perforce (Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty) but am having terrible trouble with the connection either:

1) Timing out and never starting or,
2) Timing out or stalling half way through downloading.

I have tried time and again over the last day and a half!

I am issuing:

export P4PORT=codes.zimbra.com:2666
export P4EDITOR=vim
p4 -u public -P public1234 -c public-view sync -f //depot/zcs/FRANKLIN/...

An example of where it just doesn't even start is (with -v 100):

NetBuffer flush
NetTcpTransport send 287 bytes
Perforce client error:
        TCP receive failed.
        read: socket: Connection reset by peer
NetTcpTransport recv -1 bytes
~VarArray 0/0
<<< Dispatch(1) 0/0 0/0 0
NetTcpTransport 10.187.18.32:40503 closing unknown
NetTcpTransport lastRead=1
~VarArray 2/75
~VarArray 5/75
~VarArray 2/75
~VarArray 0/0

Could anyone enlighten me as to any current issues with the perforce server?

Many many thanks in advance.

A very frustrated, Tom

The -f argument does not make any difference. I too have been having no luck in downloading the sources over the last day and a half. I have started a thread (before I found this one) here.

I just had the same stall trouble (haven't hit the 'non-start' connection timeout issue) so I cleaned out the old workspaces (we only have a few licenses) & replaced them with public-view/linux/mac/pc (with respective common paths for each client) > sync's FRANKLIN-5018 fine.

(Should pretty much always use -f against codes.zimbra, I know that's slower than just changed files, but if you don't force it you may only get a partial based on someone elses sync. )

Our apologies that this issue is part of your first experience in the community! (That server needs some love from time to time.) SF/ZimbraCommunity should have tarballs if you'd like.

The tarballs on sourceforge.net seem to be only available for 4.x versions of Zimbra (SourceForge.net: Zimbra Collaboration Suite - Project Web Hosting - Open Source Software) Do you know where there are source tarballs of 5.x versions of Zimbra? Especially 5.0.18.

On sourceforge:


zcs-5.0.0_BETA3_1276-src.tgz Any 40.1 MiB Mon Aug 27 2007 14:05 Source .gz 893
zcs-5.0.0_BETA3_1277-3rdParty-src.tar.gz Any 127.9 MiB Tue Sep 04 2007 16:06 Source .gz 628
zcs-5.0.0_BETA2_1095-src.tgz Any 36.3 MiB Thu Jul 26 2007 17:26 Source .gz 495
zcs-5.0.0_BETA1_856-src.tgz Any 35.6 MiB Mon Jun 04 2007 22:07 Source .gz 401

and so on.

There are no source tarballs available, search the wiki for 'perforce'.

Dear Bill,

Please see earlier posts about perforce not working for me and others.
