Description Tomasz Zarna

I've just gained commit rights on eclipse.platform.releng. As the first commit I wanted to fix bug 357078. The location I'm using for org.eclipse.releng.tools is :extssh:tzarna@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse, so my committer id is tzarna. However, when I tried to commit this is what I got:

The server reported an error while performing the "cvs commit" command.
org.eclipse.releng.tools: cvs [commit aborted]: could not open lock file `/cvsroot/eclipse/org.eclipse.releng.tools/src/org/eclipse/releng/tools/,ReleaseWizard.java,': Permission denied

Asked Kim about it and she confirmed that my rights are set:

kmoir@build:~> id tzarna
uid=8971(tzarna) gid=1010(common) groups=1010(common),8690(eclipse.e4),8779(eclipse.platform.releng),8783(eclipse.platform.team),8818(eclipse.orion)

What's with the lock issue?

I'm not sure.  I can create files in that directory using your account, so your permissions seem fine.  The acls and perms up the tree look ok.  Had you checked in other code this morning?  I'm wondering if your CVS tool was holding the connection open and thus it wouldn't have seem the permissions change.

-M.

Good point. It worked fine after Eclipse restart, sorry for the noise.
