When doing 'cvs -n update', I get a warning like this: cvs server: WARNING: global `-l´ option ignored.

Does anyone else get the same? Is there something wrong with my configuration? It also occurrs on other SF cvs repositories, not only with python. LOL! I never tried cvs -n before. Here was my result: C:\Code\python>cvs -n up CVS.EXE update: inflate: unknown compression method CVS.EXE [update aborted]: reading from server: Input/output error Write failed flushing stdout buffer. write stdout: Broken pipe

That looks more like the more or less transient error I get from SF from time to time. cvs -n up is useful to display the state of the files in the sandbox. And pcl-cvs (from inside xemacs) uses this when you do a M-x cvs-examine.

A regular "cvs up" (no -n) still works fine.

Yes. Sometimes ;-)
