I can tell what's broken, though. : loki:/usr/packages/lesstif/foo% cvs -z5 co lesstif : cvs-pserver server: Updating lesstif : U lesstif/.cvsignore : U lesstif/AUTHORS . . . works. : loki:/usr/packages/lesstif/foo% cvs -z5 co -r release_0_90_5 lesstif : cvs-pserver [server aborted]: cannot write /cvsroot/CVSROOT/val-tags: Permission :denied fails. So `-r' is broken. The CVS manual says : Also note that users must have write access to the : `CVSROOT/val-tags' file. CVS uses it to keep track of what tags are : valid tag names (it is sometimes updated when tags are used, as well as : when they are created). This is a simple configuration error on the part of the lesstif CVS repository admin :( -- Root beer --- the drink of the BOFH.
