Re: Metasploit taking forever to update

[AK <platsakos () gmail com>]

Hi all,

are you sure this is not a temporary networking problem? Below is a
paste from a full svn checkout on my box, performed today, under less
than ideal conditions (as evident by the scripts output :-))

Checked out revision 10750.
Tue Oct 19 21:54:39 EEST 2010
metra.sh
time.txt
starting svn checkout in a crappy DSL line
svn co completed!
Tue Oct 19 22:06:38 EEST 2010
metra.sh
time.txt
trunk

svn update took dunno, a minute, minute and a half tops
