Michael Clarke commented on JENKINS-12595:
------------------------------------------
#cvs.lock is created in the root of the directory currently being updated on
the server side (see the CVS redbook for details). JENKINS-12581 is having an
effect here as the name of the module being updated is not being passed to the
repository correctly so CVS is trying to create the lock file in the root of
the repository rather than within a module.
> Anonymous cvs update doesn't work anymore
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: JENKINS-12595
> URL: https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-12595
> Project: Jenkins
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cvs
> Affects Versions: current
> Environment: CentOS 5.7, cvs-1.11.22-9.el5, cvs plugin version 2.0
> Reporter: Simon Matter
> Priority: Blocker
>
> Since the update to the java cvs plugin, I can't do anonymous readonly cvs
> update anymore. It fails with this message:
> cvs update: Updating .
> cvs update: failed to create lock directory for `/var/cvs'
> (/var/cvs/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
> cvs update: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/var/cvs'
> cvs [update aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
> Note: Initial checkout after cleaning workspace works, only updates don't
> work.
> The is also another problem which may be a side effect: I see hanging around
> cvs server processes which only terminate after jenkins is shut down.
> We are running cvs pserver from xinetd like this: cvs -f
> --allow-root=/var/cvs pserver
> CVSROOT is ":pserver:anonymous@cvs:/var/cvs"
> Anonymous readonly updates have always worked with jenkins, as well es they
> do with Eclipse or Netbeans.
> Did I miss something?
> Regards,
> Simon
