I just encountered an issue to this one I found in the archives and would like to ask a subsequent question. > Tony Hoyle wrote: > > Q: Is it now required that the repository creator be root? > > > It pretty much always was. > > Without access to the PServer file the admin isn't going to be able to > publish the repository anyway - the newer versions just do the > modification for you. > > You can tell init not to register the repository (with -n) but then it > won't work until you do the registration manually. I work on a CVS GUI client (gCvs, part of the WinCvs family). Building that runs autopoint for gettext support, which in turn runs "cvs -d "$CVSROOT" init". You see that it is not including the -n option that would tell it not to register, so it attempts to register and fails with the permission problem. To get around that, I had to give write permission to world on /etc/cvsnt. Tony, would you characterize this as an autopoint issue? I'm anticipating they say this is a cvsnt-specific extension. -- Guy Rouillier
