Bug 7953

Created attachment 201 [details]
Shell session using CVS incl. abort message

Confirmed that *all* commits to nbbuild/www/ give the same error and fail to
update live site. When you fix this, please also ensure that
nbbuild.netbeans.org is updated to match the contents of CVS.

Jack seems to be having similar problems updating look/ area.

Well, the pages have now been updated on the actual website, and committing new
HTML does update nbbuild.netbeans.org, but I still get an error message from
CVS:

Waiting for Emacs...Done
Checking in index.html;
/cvs/nbbuild/www/index.html,v  <--  index.html
new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6
done
Processing log script arguments...
Mailing the commit message to cvs@nbbuild.netbeans.org (from commitlogger)
U index.html
cvs [update aborted]: cannot rename file CleanAll.html to CVS/,,CleanAll.html:
Permission denied

I have posted full details of my problems to dev@netbeans.org 3
times now.  Does anyone @ Collab read that list ?  This is quite
frustrating.

As I mentioned in an earlier email, the push of my edit to the look
module should coincide with some other plain www pushes I have waiting.
If at all possible please don't simply push my edits live ... not
sure how best to handle that.  Anyway, details again -

From within the look/ directory heirarchy, I attempted to do an update :

> [jcatchpoole@appsrv]: common $ cvs update
> cvs server: Updating .
> cvs server: cannot open directory /cvs/look/www/org/helm/common: No such
> file or directory
> cvs server: skipping directory

So I cd'ed right out, did rm -r look/, and did a fresh cvs checkout look.
I cd'ed back in, edited a file, and attempted to check it in -

> [jcatchpoole@appsrv]: common $ cvs commit T_Nav_Column.wm
> Checking in T_Nav_Column.wm;
> /cvs/look/www/org/tigris/helm/common/T_Nav_Column.wm,v  <--  T_Nav_Column.wm
> new revision: 1.31; previous revision: 1.30
> done
> Processing log script arguments...
> Mailing the commit message to cvs@look.netbeans.org (from commitlogger)
> ? org
> ? look-cvs
> cvs update: cannot open directory
> /usr/local/tigris/data/helm/cvs/repository/look/www/org/helm: No such file
> or directory

This edit did not go live on the site.

I repeated this whole procedure, ie removed my old look/ checked it out,
and went back in to do the same edit.  I found my first edit was already
there; ie the first checkin had worked, with the error above, but had
not been pushed live.

Today I attempted to update look/www/cvsweb/cvsweb.conf to fix a broken
link.  When I tried to checkin the fixed file, I got the following error :

[jcatchpoole@appsrv]: cvsweb $ cvs commit -m "fixing broken BSD link"
cvsweb.conf
Checking in cvsweb.conf;
/cvs/look/www/cvsweb/cvsweb.conf,v  <--  cvsweb.conf

cvs [update aborted]: cannot rename file T_Nav_Column.wm to
CVS/,,T_Nav_Column.wm: Permission denied

Note one of these errors is in relation to T_Nav_Column.wm, the file I
first saw this problem with, on Monday.  I again did an rm -r look/ and
cvs checkout look, and again found my edit was correctly in place, but
not live.

Not sure if this is relevant but -
T_Nav_Column.wm now lives one directory level deeper than it did on the
old NB server, and I'm pretty sure on the new machine quite recently.
Specifically, it now appears to live in

look/www/org/tigris/helm/common/

whereas it used to be

look/www/org/helm/common/

Seems to be fixed.  My previous edits are now live, and
tests to look/.../T_Nav_Column.wm and look/.../cvsweb.conf
work - ie no errors and are "live" immediately.

closing...

We recently moved out from Collabnet's infrastructure
