As you can see, I had to remove it because it caused a major hang on repo-mirror-ci pipeline. I would like to recommend you switch away from mercurial since that *beep* doesn't support timeouts and causes major pain to users.
I do not understand. The server is up, responding and working correctly. Can you provide more information about the network issue? Also can you provide which version of mercurial, you are using because normally it uses the default timeout of the OS. But I find it harsh to only left 1min between the submission of the issue and the removal of the repository while you state that there are 2 weeks to reply.
I find it harsh that Gentoo users weren't able to get updates for 11 hours because mercurial hanged the system. Mercurial is probably the most unstable VCS I have ever worked with, and with my limited time I don't really have the patience to fight it. What I can get out of strace boils down to SSL exchange happening, then it writes something and waits for the result forever: getsockopt(3, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TYPE, [1], [4]) = 0 getpeername(3, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(443), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "2001:41d0:1:c158::1", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=htonl(0), sin6_scope_id=0}, [28]) = 0 getpid() = 1820 write(3, "\26\3\1\2\0\1\0\1\374\3\3v\323\230\20\356k\374Y\353u\233\210\241=>X\223G1\374\5"..., 517) = 517 read(3,
> I find it harsh that Gentoo users weren't able to get updates for 11 hours because mercurial hanged the system. They have to wait only if they are using this overlay. Also nothing said that it is a widely spread issue because I have no problem to clone the repository from here. And now the users of this overlay will not find it, it is not better for them. Can you point me which version of Mercurial you are using?

Does it mean that all mercurial repository will be removed from overlay? Should it not be a planning and announcement for such decision?

The command was 'hg pull' but I can reproduce with plain 'hg clone https://hg.tryton.org/tryton-overlay'. > > > Mercurial is probably the most unstable VCS I have ever worked with, and with my limited time I don't really have the patience to fight it. > > Does it mean that all mercurial repository will be removed from overlay? > Should it not be a planning and announcement for such decision? Maybe. For now, I've removed the one that's hanging the system.
So if you can reproduce, can you give more information about the host performing the clone. What is its default timeout? What is the traceroute to hg.tryton.org? Will you re-add the repository if I put a mirror on bitbucket.org?
The repository has been removed, rendering this bug obsolete.
Seems to work now. I'll readd. Though mirror on bitbucket would indeed be helpful (provided it comes first, as it won't help at all if your server starts hanging everything again).
