I am using WinCVS and when i try to update a module i keep getting this error
cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: error -1
What is the actual problem here and how to resolve this?
回答1:
I had this and similar problems, resolved by trying variations on my CVSROOT pserver string, to include username@hostname/cvs. Also cvs logout then login again. Don't know exactly why it worked since they should be equivalent.
回答2:
Your anti-virus/firewall may be the problem here. Disable/Uninstall them and try again.

Could you do a whole checkout but no update?
I had the same error at work and it puzzlingly was a problem related with access rights on the server. To know whether you have the same problem, ask a colleague to try with his own login.

I have seen strange problems depending on the CVS client/server version when the compression was turned off. The solution to many of our problems was to use compression (lowest setting would suffice), even though on the LAN this would not have been a neccessity. Not sure anymore what the message was, but maybe this helps you.
