Re: Metasploit taking forever to update

[AK <platsakos () gmail com>]

Hi all,
This is not a metasploit issue per se. If this is the first time you do
an SVN checkout, it is normal. The reason is that SVN fetches a very
large number of small files for the first time, something that can be
slightly time-consuming (although I have never seen the 1 hour required
mentioned by some of the posters). If time is that important, given that
this is most likely a one-time cost, you can uncompress the latest
.tar.bz2 of svn, do a checkout on top of this, thus changing only the
files that have been updated.

Cheers!
