to more instances of missing do-cm3-core.sh.
 
You can see in these cases the cvs checkout got much further, but still missed all of scripts.

Scripts just happens to be alphabetically late so has a higher chance of not making it.

Suggestions?

Surely this is just as much likely flaky network on my end as anywhere else.

Put a file "last" in the repository and if it is missing after checkout, abort and start over?
Send the repository down as one large .tar.gz, and again, if failed to recieve, abort and start over?
 
Could keeping a checkout and just updating it from run to run be made reliable/trusted enough?
That would greatly mitigate network problems, make abort + retry less expensive.
Or not much competition to the cleanliness of a whole new checkout for each build?
 
Just run it all in an hourly loop and accept the lossage?
