Hello, i already asked on the newsgroup for cvs but got no response, perhaps my problem is too stupid, but in any case i really need help:
i am using regularly cvs for my projects, now for the first time the usefulness appeared clearly: an unfound bug creeped in the development that made itself public some checkins later.... since the bug couldn't be found, an old version without the bug was checked out and brought to the state of the old project. But now how to check this new version in as the new main tree without merging the differences of the buggy version? Now i do not know if the problems are corellated, but i cannot checkin the project on the server i get a Permission denied every time i try a ci.... loooks like this: ? examples/done ? examples/cvslog ? examples/sim ? examples/.Simulator.java.swo ? examples/AdminListener.java ? examples/doubleArray.java ? examples/matrix.java Permission denied long list before, to be noted that a subdirectory example exists, but doesn't contain all the files mentioned (neither does the examples/CVS/Entries file)... now i used this repository before, so i do not understand why it doesn't work now (perhaps it is a problem due to the upgrade to a new debian distribution made lately...) nevertheless, connection is made through ssh, and the permissions are set right: (at least i think) 18:26:57 yoda:~$ whoami bboett 18:26:59 yoda:~$ ssh erm1 18:32:00 erm1:~$ whoami bboett 18:32:05 erm1:~$ echo $CVSROOT /usr/local/cvsroot 18:32:10 erm1:~$ cd /usr/local/cvsroot 18:32:13 erm1:/usr/local/cvsroot$ 18:32:13 erm1:/usr/local/cvsroot$ ll -d jSim/ drwxrwxr-x 7 bboett users 2048 May 15 08:29 jSim/ 18:33:03 erm1:/usr/local/cvsroot/jSim$ touch test 18:33:11 erm1:/usr/local/cvsroot/jSim$ ll test -rw-r--r-- 1 bboett users 0 Jul 12 18:33 test 18:33:13 erm1:/usr/local/cvsroot/jSim$ cvs --version Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.4 (client/server) 18:29:27 yoda:~$ cvs --version Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.4 (client/server) so i do not understand where's the problem..... any help would really be greatly appreciated... used system is a debian potato -- ciao bboett ============================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://inforezo.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett http://erm1.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett =============================================================== the total amount of intelligence on earth is constant. human population is growing....
