Re: [Rails-devel] How to check out the code from CVS (was: 1856: CGR Formation stalls when keeping all trains)

[Chris S. <chr...@gm...>]

I've checked the project out anonymously using command line cvs because I
got permission errors when authenticating.  I figured I'd try authenticated
with Eclipse and also got a permission error.

***
cvs co -d "18xx" -P -A "/18xx"
    cvs checkout: Updating 18xx
    cvs checkout: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/rails/18xx'
(/cvsroot/rails/18xx/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
    cvs checkout: failed to obtain dir lock in repository
`/cvsroot/rails/18xx'
    cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
The server reported an error while performing the "cvs checkout" command.
(took 0:00.387)
   Error: : cvs checkout: failed to create lock directory for
`/cvsroot/rails/18xx' (/cvsroot/rails/18xx/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
   Error: : cvs checkout: failed to obtain dir lock in repository
`/cvsroot/rails/18xx'
   Error: : cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
***

Does one need to be added to an authorized user list to check it out while
authenticated?

p.s. Eclipse checked out the project fine with anonymous pserver.
