Anonymous CVS Access permission errors

[Paul Blankenbaker]

Good Day:

I was trying to following the instructions for building the FGS MapTools from the CVS repository (I was viewing the instructions at: http://www.maptools.org/fgs/index.phtml?page=fgs-sandbox.html).

The CVS repository appears to be in a bad state (it lets me login, but prevents me from checking out or exporting code).

Here is a synopsis of what I'm seeing:

[pkb@dhcp110 tmp]$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsanon@...:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot

[pkb@dhcp110 tmp]$ cvs -d ${CVSROOT} login
Logging in to :pserver:cvsanon@...:2401/cvs/maptools/cvsroot
CVS password:
[pkb@dhcp110 tmp]$ cvs -d ${CVSROOT} checkout fgs-dev
cvs checkout: Updating fgs-dev
U fgs-dev/HISTORY.txt
U fgs-dev/README
U fgs-dev/TODO

... makes good progress, but eventually fails with ...

U fgs-dev/pkg_def/freetype/fgs_build
U fgs-dev/pkg_def/freetype/fgs_install
cvs checkout: Updating fgs-dev/pkg_def/freetype/patches
cvs checkout: failed to create lock directory for `/cvs/maptools/cvsroot/fgs-dev/pkg_def/freetype/patches' (/cvs/maptools/cvsroot/fgs-dev/pkg_def/freetype/patches/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs checkout: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvs/maptools/cvsroot/fgs-dev/pkg_def/freetype/patches'
cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
[pkb@dhcp110 tmp]$


I then tried using a CVS export instead (but this failed with a different error):

[pkb@dhcp110 tmp]$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsanon@...:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot
[pkb@dhcp110 tmp]$ cvs -d ${CVSROOT} login
Logging in to :pserver:cvsanon@...:2401/cvs/maptools/cvsroot
CVS password:
[pkb@dhcp110 tmp]$ cvs -d ${CVSROOT} export -r rel-1-0-0 -d fgs-dev-1.0.0 fgs-dev
cvs export: Updating fgs-dev-1.0.0
U fgs-dev-1.0.0/HISTORY.txt
U fgs-dev-1.0.0/README
U fgs-dev-1.0.0/TODO

... continues for awhile, then dies with ...

U fgs-dev-1.0.0/pkg_def/freetype/fgs_build
U fgs-dev-1.0.0/pkg_def/freetype/fgs_install
cvs export: Updating fgs-dev-1.0.0/pkg_def/freetype/patches
cvs [export aborted]: cannot open directory /cvs/maptools/cvsroot/fgs-dev/pkg_def/freetype/patches/Attic: Permission denied
[pkb@dhcp110 tmp]$

I suspect that the issue is with respect to permissions on files/directories at the CVS server (I don't think its at my end). I tried searching the mail archives, but didn't see anyone else mentioning anonymous CVS issues.

Could someone else try doing a anonymous CVS checkout and see if they see the same issue, or suggest something that I might change at my end?

Thanks,
Paul

There were some permission issues with some recent commits made on the
server. That's hopefully all fixed. Can you please try again?
