Subject: TopLevelAdmin option conflicts with remote exports
>Submitter-Id: net
>Originator: Mark Hewitt
>Organization:
Armature Limited
>Confidential: no
>Synopsis: TopLevelAdmin option conflicts with remote exports
>Severity: serious
>Priority: medium
>Category: cvs
>Class: sw-bug
>Release: 1.11.1p1
>Environment:
System: SunOS venus 5.6 Generic_105181-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
Architecture: sun4
>Description:
If the config option "TopLevelAdmin" is set, then export
requests via a pserver connaction fail with a message
"cannot export into a working directory"
Resetting the TopLevelAdmin option will allow remote (pserver)
exports to complete, but this does not suit our development
practice.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set TopLevelAdmin option.
Export from a remote client (actually, a client on the same
machine as the server but using a pserver connection demonstrates
the problem too).
>Fix:
Workaround is either to reset TopLevelAdmin, or to export on
the same machine as the repository using a plain pathname to the
root.
The software fix is either not to create the CVSADM directory when
exporting (regardless of TopLevelAdmin option) or to permit the
CVSADM directory at the top level in an export when the
TopLevelAdmin option is set - you choose!
