[yocto] GCC SVN repo too slow?

[Christian Gagneraud]

Hi all,

I'm having problems with the GCC SVN repo being so slow to checkout, 
that svn failed (and so my build too).
I first suspected the proxy we have here, but i tried a checkout from an 
outside machine (but still in New Zealand) and it seems the problem 
comes from gcc.gnu.org.

I am using the arago layer, which requires 
svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/branches;module=gcc-4_5-branch;protocol=http 
for gcc-crosssdk-intermediate.

By slow, I really mean slow: 1 to 2 files are checkout per second!?!

Has anyone encountered the same kind of problems?

Regards,
Chris
