(Are you sure you're answering the right email, Stefan? :-) )

I've filed https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?107070 for this.

The problem is that the CVS server's /tmp dir is mounted read-only.  I
get the error too:

  $ cvs up -dP
  can't create temporary directory /tmp/cvs-serv23644
  Read-only file system
  $ 

I also got this warning the first time I ran that just now:

  Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address
           '140.186.70.72' to the list of known hosts.

...which makes me suspect savannah switched the CVS server to a new
machine, and that the new machine is not configured right.
