Hi,
I am having a few problems commiting to my company's CVS repository
and even the guys in charge of the repository aren't sure why.
I first tried commiting to the CVS, from my PC with a project I
checked out with Eclipse, but I get given the error:
***
cvs ci -m "added reference to wiki" -l "/project-x/readme.txt"
cvs commit: permission denied for projects/project-x/readme.txt
ok (took 0:00.265)
Error: The following warnings were reported while performing the "cvs
commit" command.
Error: bpm: cvs commit: permission denied for projects/project-x/
readme.txt
***
I even tried with TortoiseCVS but to no avail.
If I log on to the server where the CVS repository is located and do a
local check out then everything works, and I can even check-in. But if
I try this with an ssh connection I can't commit. On the host machine
(Linux), I check out the project in a new directory as follows:
export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -z3 -d:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs co -P projects/project-x
I then attempt to do a commit of a change to a file in the project
with:
cvs commit
I then get asked for a password and then vi fires up and I add a
comment. When I save and exit vi I get given the error:
cvs commit: permission denied for projects/project-x/readme.txt
I am a member of the group cvs and the permissions and ownership of
the parent directory in the repository are:
drwxrwsr-x cvs cvs
Any ideas what else I could checking?
Andre
