I have been using a cvs server on a Win2000 machine and now shifting the
repository to a Debian Linux PowerPC machine. I did this some time ago
as a test and it worked fine. When trying the same thing recently I
found that I had permission problems trying to checkout a test module.
I found by making the CVSROOT directory read/write to the group solved
the problem. It seems that cvs is creating a EmptyDir directory in CVSROOT.
I read Larry Jones' post dated Oct 24th but I still don't understand.
Why does cvs need to create an EmptyDir when I want to checkout files
from the repository to a fresh sandbox on my local machine ????
I copied the files from the Win2000 box to the Linux box using 'cp -a'.
Is this OK or could this be causing the problems I'm seeing ??? Maybe
there is an newline/carriage-return issue somewhere ???
Any suggestions or ideas ???
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
