Description Pascal Rapicault

2008-04-17 16:56:25 EDT

When I'm trying to branch, I'm getting the following error:

The server reported an error while performing the "cvs tag" command.
  org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests: cvs [tag aborted]: could not open lock file `/cvsroot/eclipse/org.eclipse.equinox/p2/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests/src/org/eclipse/equinox/p2/tests/extensionlocation/,AllTests.java,': Permission denied

It is now the second time that this happens to me in a short period of time. What could cause this lock?

The "ownership" of that directory wasn't p2.  This happens often when people create directories using the shell, for instance.  Try now.

I'm re-opening because I'm experiencing this problem on new files now:

The server reported an error while performing the "cvs tag" command.

They have been added by Simon (skaegi) and therefore I'm wondering if there is not something with its rights.

FWIW those folders were created using the Eclipse CVS client -- not directly in the shell.

That's odd -- some directories were again owned by the generic 'common' group, not eclipse.equinox.p2-dev

I've reset the ownership, so you should be good.  I'll investigate Simon (and dj's) account settings to see why the ownership keeps changing.

Thanks

I was unable to find anything interesting to look at, so I'll close this as fixed.
