cvs broke? fresh install can't cvsup and buildworld

[bsdnooby]

2 machines installed and updated fine, #3 has errors on "cvsup -g -L 2
stable-supfile".

the error messages say something about "head file", but it seems to finish

then when i do "make buildworld" it blows up with errors

i realise this isn't much to go on, but I wanted to post a headsup in
case somebody just changed someething and maybe needs to change it back,
so it doesnt effect too many people

if no one else reports a problem, i will assume it's something i'm doing
wrong

When I run 'make buildworld' I get a series of errors like this:

rm -f .depend GPATH GRTAGS GSYMS GTAGS
===> bin/domainname
"Makefile", line 3: Need an operator
....
"Makefile", line 33 Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/bin
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src


This is on a fresh install I am trying to update to RELENG_5. I've
trying to follow whats in the handbook, including the 'cleandir' tips at
the end, but nothing is working so far.

I assume that "fresh install" == "fresh install of 5.3-RELEASE"?

The usual thing to do first when a "make buildworld" fails is to
re-synchronize your source (CVSup, CVS, CTM, whatever) and
try again. Most generally, these little errors (looks like a simple
syntax goof in /usr/src/bin/domainame/Makefile maybe) get fixed
Real Quick (tm), and a subsequent CVSup will build properly.

Alternatively, at least in this case, if you can find the syntax
error and fix it, buildworld may work. But your experience may
not yet be to the level where you would feel confident in hacking
on the Makefile.

Check the stable@ mailing list for any clues ("me too" posts, mails
with "heads up" or "buildworld fails in domainname" in the subject
line, etc.). I'm subscribed, but haven't been keeping up over there....

"which make" replies with /usr/bin/make, right?

Yes it does.

When I run "cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile" I see a bunch of errors with
"Head" in them. here is one of them:

Server warning: RCS file error in
"/cvs/cvsupd/prefixes/FreeBSD.cvs/src/bin/sh/var.h,v": 1: "head" expected

Then when I run "make buildworld", that fails

cvsup12.freebsd.org seems to have a problem. cvsup9 is okay. I don't
know if it's only /usr/src/bin or other directories, or if other cvsup
servers are having trouble.

What cvsup server are you using? It appears to be corrupted.

Yes, cvsup12 is definitely corrupt, and will produce this exact error.
I switched to cvsup11, but I had to completely remove my src tree before
the builds would work again.

I was using cvsup10, 11, 12, and 13 - I think. I did a reinstall, but
instead if using my ATA drive, I installed on my SATA array - and it
worked. So I was thinking there was a problem with my ATA drive, but
now it looks like the problem was in fact with the cvsup server(s).

I hadn't planned to use my array (2x160GB) as my boot drive, but it sure
is fast since it is striped (to 320GB). Now I have to decide if I want
to reinstall on to my single 160GB ATA drive, and to use the raid array
as a pure data mount (in maybe /mnt/data).

Thx for all the feedback, it looks like the servers have been fixed!
