Hello,
I am having a problem using CVS (from Cygwin 1.3.6) on a
Windows 2000 machine. The main repository is on our campus
AFS servers, and I have the OpenAFS client 1.2.2b from
http://www.openafs.org/ installed on the Windows machine to
access AFS. Since it is on Cygwin, I have
CVSROOT=/cygdrive/x/cvs
where X: (under Windows) mounts the parent directory of the
CVS repository.
I am able to check out the module that I need. CVS update
also works, and pulls in changes made by others. But if I
make a change and try 'cvs commit', I get the message -
/cygdrive/x/cvs/src/makefile,v <-- makefile
new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6
cvs [commit aborted]: error writing to lock file
/cygdrive/x/cvs/src/,makefile,
and the commit fails.
I was previously using CVS over ssh, with CVSROOT=:ext: etc,
and it was working fine. Even now, if I check out a copy
with CVSROOT set with :ext, it works, and commit works, and
everything is OK, but of course, it is inconvenient because
I need to keep entering my password for ssh (we have a
strange mixture of ssh and AFS here that makes it a little
difficult to do passwordless logins with SSH).
I need to stick with the Cygwin version of CVS because of
other considerations in the lab.
Any ideas on what might be the problem? I tried the command
'touch /cygdrive/x/cvs/src/,makefile,'
from a Windows bash shell, and this works, so it is not a
problem with write permissions.
Thanks in advance,
Nitin
