So basically CVS could not create Emptydir there. It would be perfect if I would get a much more meaningfull message about this problem from CVS server instead of this message: -- cannot create_adm_p /tmp/cvs-serv939/phtextur Permission denied -- From this message text I had no idea if the problem is with server or with my client and only playing with source helped me. (I assume that fprintf(stderr,.. in create_adm_p if (CVS_MKDIR (empty, 0777) < 0) would do the trick temporarily however more sofisticated solution would be perfect) bye -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux dual 2.4.2-pre4-RTL3.0 #1 SMP Út úno 20 13:18:36 CET 2001 i686 Versions of packages cvs depends on: ii debconf 0.9.14 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.2.2-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii zlib1g 1:1.1.3-12 compression library - runtime
