>Description:
cvs pserver has troubles with read-only repository
breaking at least 'checkout -r tag' and 'update -r tag'.
I'm trying to setup anonymous CVS pserver for my mirror of
FreeBSD CVS Repository. I've a line in login.conf
>How-To-Repeat:
I'm trying to setup anonymous CVS pserver for my mirror of
FreeBSD CVS Repository. I've in my login.conf:
anoncvs:\
:datasize=16M:\
:stacksize=8M:\
:memoryuse=16M:\
:priority=15:\
:umask=022:\
:openfiles=100:\
:hushlogin@:\
:cputime=5m:\
:coredumpsize=0:\
:maxproc=32:\
:tc=default:
I've in my inetd.conf:
# Limited Anonymous CVS service
cvspserver stream tcp nowait/8/60 anoncvs/anoncvs /home/cvsupin/anoncvs anoncvs
I've an executable script /home/cvsupin/anoncvs:
#!/bin/sh
exec cvs -R --allow-root=/home/ncvs pserver
I have created /home/ncvs/CVSROOT/passwd with anoncvs account and
can now login as anoncvs remotely.
/home/ncvs is owned by cvsupin:cvsupin and anoncvs is another
user, it is not a member of cvsupin group. So cvspserver cannot
write to repository (that's a goal). There is no val-tags
in /home/ncvs/CVSROOT.
I can do 'cvs checkout src/lib/libalias', for example and get it.
But I can't do 'cd src/lib/libalias; cvs update -r RELENG_3' as
it says
cvs [server aborted]: cannot write to /home/ncvs/CVSROOT/val-tags: Permission denied
There is a patch to fix this problem:

+++ src/contrib/cvs/src/tag.c Fri Sep 13 16:12:18 2002

datum value;
- if (noexec || nowrite)
+ if (noexec || nowrite || readonlyfs)
{
if (db != NULL)
dbm_close (db);
I apply the patch and can now do 'cvs update -r RELENG_3'.
Now I need natd from RELENG_3. It used to be in src/usr.sbin
and now it's in src/sbin, so I cannot checkout HEAD and update
to RELENG_3 - that doesn't produce sources in the working directory.
So I try to 'cvs checkout -r RELENG_3 src/usr.sbin/natd' but it says
Protocol error: uncounted data discarded.
I don't know how to fix this. If I use 'cvs pserver' instead of
'cvs -R pserver' I see it tries to create lock in the Repo and fails.
It should not try to lock readonly repository but it seems to try
at the line 107 of src/contrib/cvs/src/recurse.c
