Hi, We use cvs for managing the source code of a multi developer project. On 13, May 1998 after a "frozen" update I discovered a new cvs "feature/bug" and filed a bug report (#22392). I haven't heard much about it since then so I thought I would ask the other users if anybody has the same problem or if anyone knows a good work-around.
Here is the problem: cvs repository is in /dev/sda6 (/usr/local/cvsroot by link) home directories are in /dev/sda6 (/home by a link) cvs's default tmpdir is /tmp which is in /dev/sda3 (/) When I check in a file, cvs apparantly wants /tmp and cvsroot to be on the same physical partition. I get errors like: cvs [commit aborted]: cannot rename file /tmp/cvs03139haa \ to apapi.c:Invalidcross-device link If I setenv TMPDIR to something like ~/tmp which is on the same partition as cvsroot things work. But I don't think the location of TMPDIR should have anything to do with the workings of cvs as long as I have write permission there. I can't imagine that this is the default behavior from the cvs sources since most installations that are compiled from source would have their cvsroot as a seperate partition from /tmp. I guess I will check the sources just to be sure. Stuart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
