Checking out based upon a certain CVS tag keeps failing periodically. There's no pattern to when it works/fails, but it seems like something is out of sync somewhere.
(18:17:21:davej@test1:~)$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/pkgs co -r kernel-2_6_23-0_15_rc0_git1_fc8 kernel/devel/kernel-2.6.spec cvs checkout: warning: cannot open /cvs/pkgs/CVSROOT/val-tags read/write: Permission denied U kernel/devel/kernel-2.6.spec
This tag works, and the file does get checked out, despite the warning.
(18:17:48:davej@test1:~)$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/pkgs co -r kernel-2_6_23-0_99_rc2_git3_fc8 kernel/devel/kernel-2.6.spec cvs checkout: warning: cannot open /cvs/pkgs/CVSROOT/val-tags read/write: Permission denied cvs [checkout aborted]: no such tag kernel-2_6_23-0_99_rc2_git3_fc8
This newer tag doesn't get the file checked out. Same for the even newer tag - kernel-2_6_23-0_100_rc2_git5_fc8
Looking in cvsweb, you can see that those tags do actually exist.
Are you still having this issue ongoing or was it just these tags that were missing?
ping; still a problem 7 months after last ping?
I disabled the cronjob that ran that a while back, so I stopped noticing. Might as well just close this out.
