I seem to have a problem with my cvs setup/permissions in /sw/fink since upgrading to the 10.2 tree. I did not run the upgrade script on that system since I had already been using the experimental 10.2 tree before. So maybe someone can give me a hint what exactly should be the ownerships and permissions in the /sw/fink hierarchy. The fink installation itself works flawlessly, otherwise, the only problem I have is that every 'selfupdate-cvs' will fail with the dreaded
cvs server: Updating 10.1/unstable/main/finkinfo/x11-wm cvs server: Updating 10.2 cvs server: Updating 10.2/stable cvs update: move away 10.2/stable/.cvsignore; it is in the way C 10.2/stable/.cvsignore cvs server: Updating 10.2/stable/crypto cvs update: move away 10.2/stable/crypto/.cvsignore; it is in the way C 10.2/stable/crypto/.cvsignore cvs server: Updating 10.2/stable/crypto/finkinfo cvs server: Updating 10.2/stable/main cvs update: move away 10.2/stable/main/.cvsignore; it is in the way C 10.2/stable/main/.cvsignore cvs server: Updating 10.2/stable/main/finkinfo cvs server: Updating 10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/base cvs update: move away 10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/base/apt-0.5.4-5.info; it is in the way C 10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/base/apt-0.5.4-5.info cvs update: move away 10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/base/apt-0.5.4-5.patch; it is in the way C 10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/base/apt-0.5.4-5.patch cvs update: move away 10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/base/base-files-1.6-1.info; it is in the way error for every single .info and .patch file in the 10.2 tree (none in the 10.1 tree!). Only way to get the update I found is to remove all infos, patches and .cvsignores in 10.2 before the selfupdate. So I have tried to figure out if cvs is unhappy with the permissions in any way, it turned out that initially most of the subdirectories were owned by root:wheel, which cvs could not update at all (that seems reasonable, since it is operating as user "derek" at that time). So I made sure all ownerships were changed to "derek" with the exception of the binary-* directories and the .deb files themselves. Result see above -- permissions are exactly the same as in the 10.1 dir, none of the info/patch files has even been touched since the last selfupdate, yet cvs invariably runs amok. Any idea what's screwed up here, or any other settings for the selfupdate I might have to look into?
