[Dxspider-support] Spider continues to freeze and/or restart on its own

[Dirk Koopman]

I thought centos 5 had git? If it really hasn't, I might consider 
installing it from source.

CVS is now fixed.

I haven't used CVS to branch for quite a while and my remarks about 
swapping from one branch to another "easily" may not apply.

I would seriously consider installing git if you want to use the mojo 
branch.

Also, I haven't used perlbrew on DXSpider and you may find that we get 
problems getting the correct perl (ie perlbrew correctly overriding the 
system perl).

The current stable perl is 5.22.1 and I recommend that you use that. 
Don't use any perl with an odd release number like 5.23, as they are 
development versions and not considered stable.
