[Clirr-devel] clirr cvs repository broken?

[Simon K. <si...@ec...>]

Hi,

I just tried to update my checkout of the clirr source code using cvs.
However I keep getting this message:

simon@pcsimon:~/clirr$ cvs
-d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/clirr co clirr
can't create temporary directory /tmp/cvs-serv6132
Permission denied

The problem doesn't appear to be at my end. I can access a number of
other cvs repositories fine, including repos for other projects at
sourceforge.

I think that the message about "can't create temporary directory" is
actually being generated by the CVS *server* at sourceforge. Maybe the
clirr user doesn't have the right group for accessing the /tmp dir on
cvs.sourceforge.net or something bizarre like that? Everything was
working fine 48 hours ago...

Cheers,

Simon
