------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
To update the directory affected:

for dir in `find . -type d -newer underware -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1`; do co -q 
$dir/CVSROOT/*,v ; done

(already done, but provided here just in case)


Apart from that, I forget the co in the backend, so this is pretty trivial to 
fix. It should be ok by now.

Project: Savannah
Submitted by: Vincent Caron
On: dim 30.11.2003 à 15:34

Severity:  7 - Major
Priority:  7 - High
Resolution:  Fixed
Assigned to:  yeupou
Status:  Closed
Fixed Release:  
Affected release:  -CERN


Summary:  Project creation leads to incomplete CVS administration files

Original Submission:  Symptom :



cvs server: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/emms/emms'

   (/cvsroot/emms/emms/#cvs.lock): Permission denied

cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/emms/emms'

cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up





Analysis :



Some administration files in CVSROOT/ which should be checkout'ed automatically 
by CVS (they are: checkoutlist, config, passwd, readers) are not. The bug below 
is triggered by the lack of config which sets the lock folder to 
/var/lock/cvs/cvsroot/emms.



It looks like all projects created since the migration to the CERN branch are 
affected. 'emms' was fixed by hand (issuing local 'co <file>,v' commands). An 
affected sample for debugging purposes is 'polyxmass'.



Real cause of problem unknown at this time.

I cannot investigate neither can I fix it for now due to problem discussed by 
mail privately related to ssh.



(same comment for the others problems reported yesterday)
