Re: [Savannah-hackers] Various permission issues with CVS

[Sylvain Beucler]

I could not find the problem with the first error.

However, the second error occurs because you have a wrong directory 
layout in your repository.
'webcvs' repositories contains a directory with the project name, which 
contains 'CVSROOT' and another directory with the project name. This 
last directory is where files should be commited. In your case, files 
are commited in the same directory than CVSROOT, which is not what was 
planned by the admins.

\
|
`- cvsroot
 |
 `- fsffr <this is where you commited the files>
  |
  `- CVSROOT
  |
  `- fsffr <this is where your files should be commited - currently 
non-existant>
  |
  `- about
  |
  `- index...

I have to discuss with the admins about this issue and I will contact 
you again then.
