Right; "root" is not allowed to commit files.  This is a design feature,
intended to increase the accountability of changes.  Since "root" is
often a shared account (it's a functional account rather than a personal
one), allowing it to check in would make it impossible to determine
who checked a change in.  (It isn't quite this simple; if CVS is able
to determine who "root" really is, CVS may allow the checkin.)

That would mean that your user account does not have the permissions
necessary.  Your account must have read permission on all files and
directories you are going to use, execute permission on all directories,
and normally write permission on all directories.  (It is possible to
get around this, for read-only access, by setting LockDir in 
CVSROOT/config.)

What release of CVS and what platform?

Usually that means that the directory you're trying to checkout into
(Projects) already exists.  Try deleting it and rerunning the command
with tracing turned on (the global -t option) -- if you still have
problems, post the exact command you used, the trace, and the definition
of Projects, if any, from your modules file.

Checkout error

[Pat Young]

I am trying to checkout module Projects/xub to my
workstation.  When I try, I get the following error...

  [cvs] cvs checkout: in directory Projects:
  [cvs] cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for
reading: No such file or directory
  [cvs] cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Tag: No such
file or directory
  [cvs] cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open
CVS/Entries.Static: No such file or directory
  [cvs] write stdout: Invalid argument
  [cvs] Write failed flushing stdout buffer.

I believe I am getting the error, because I am
checking out a two level module.  After my job aborts,
I look in file manager and I see the directory
c:\checkout\Projects.  However, I don't see any CVS
directory.  Therefore, when CVS tries to checkout the
xub module underneath Projects, it fails.  Is this a
bug or am I doing something wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

That looks like you're trying to checkout into an existing directory
(Projects).  Checkout really wants to create a new directory on
checkout.

Joel,

No, I don't remove the local file before the checkout.   But if I understand
it,
if I already have a checkout of a file, the return message should be

U  file.

CVS checkout error message

[Lamar Seifuddin]

All,

I apologize in advance if this is a no-brainer question.

I created a script that does a build process, which includes
checking out Gmakefiles, etc.

I get the following error in the build log:

cvs checkout: move away src/Gmakefile; it is in the way
C src/Gmakefile


when I do the checkout manually.I have no problem.

what's up with the error message?   I've checked the CVS
manual..I could not find anything.

thanks,

Lamar

CVS checkout error

[Adam W. Montville]

Hi 
all...
 
I can't run "cvs 
checkout X" across my pserver connection for some reason.  I have a 
repository (/cvs/isaac) with a module "RoCK" that I was supposedly able to 
import via pserver.  My CVSROOT environment variable is set to 
":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/isaac" and the command I am attempting to 
run (after logging in to the server) is:
 
cvs checkout 
RoCK
 
The following is the 
error that I receive:
 
cvs server: cannot 
open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
cvs [server 
aborted]: can't chdir (/root): Permission denied
 
This is obviously a 
permission issue, but it's confusing to me because I've followed "instructions" 
found in "Open Source Development with CVS" and in the Cederqvist only to get to 
this error.  I'll keep digging around, but appreciate any 
help.
 
If this information 
helps, the server is on RH7.0 and the client is running on 
Win2k.
 
Regards,
 
Adam

Your problem seems to be caused by those patches, so I'm afraid we can't
help you.  My only suggestion is that you install an unpatched CVS and
get that working before you start trying to apply patches that you don't
seem to fully understand.  You may want to ask info-cvs for advice about
how to do what you want with standard CVS instead.

Hi Larry,

I need your help here.

I got the patches from
http://www.maui.co.uk/downloads/cvs_propogate/
for controlling permissions to different users.

Now as I said before, the entries in inetd.conf file
are having the following effects.

with -L -P -f options it's giving following error:
Unrecognised auth reposnse from localhost. cvs options
are .


with -L -P options, there is no effect of patches.

with only -L option controlling access to only
individula directory level.

What are these P and f options. I guess those are
mentioned in the patch but I don't know what it meant
for. Unfortunately I couldn't catch author of this
patch as he is out of station. For your convienience 
I am pasting the patch below. Please let me know your
suggestions.

Thank you very mecu for your help,
Thanks,
MM,

Where did you get those patches?  The problem is almost certainly bad
code of some sort.  If you have PreservePermissions enabled in your
CVSROOT/config file, that could explain the problem: that code is
notoriously buggy and should not be enabled.  It's also possible that
the patches you have installed are defective.

Cvs checkout error!!

Hi,
I am getting following error when I try to checkout
with any of the users in the passwd file other than
admin.

Terminated with fatal signal 11
Core dumped; preserving /tmp/cvs-serv9187 on server.
CVS locks may need cleaning up.

Do you think I need to delete some entries in the /tmp
directory. Or shall I delete all the entries in the
/tmp directory ( it's not allowing to do so). Do you
have any solution for this. Please let me know? ( All
this is with the Corey Mineyard & Marty patches for
CVS permissions).

I am using -P option along with cvs command.

Thanks in advance,

As of 1.11.1, CVS no longer pays any attention to $HOME in server mode,
which I expect will greatly reduce the frequency of this question.

Checkout error

[Robert Penland]

We are setting up a new repository on a Unix machine and have set up a user
list that gives the appropriate developers read/write access to the CVSROOT
directory.  Logins for the users occur without a problem, but when any of
the users try to check out a module the following error is returned:

cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission Denied
cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): Permission Denied

MIS doesn't want to give everyone write access to the root directory.  Is
there an Environment variable that will place the .cvsignore file in the
CVSROOT directory?

Thanks,

You need to tell checkout *what* to checkout (i.e., a module or
directory name), and you need to do the checkout in a directory where
you have permission to create files and directories, *NOT* inside the
repository (which is what it looks like you tried to do).
