Can not do a cvs edit of a file that I am supposed to be a developer for. I am supposed to be a content developer for the classclosure project. I receive the following error when attempting to edit a file. $ cvs -d :pserver:ottati@cvs.netbeans.org:/cvs edit l10n.list User ottati doesnt have <Edit> access to project classclosure This is P2 because I have to fix a P2 bug (22015)
Content Developer actually means "website content" developer, ie you should be able to modify anything under classclosure/www/, so that role would not give you the correct permissions to modify for eg /l10n.list. However, you also appear to be Project Owner for classclosure, which means you ought to be able to modify everything in the module, so I'm not sure what is going on. It is possible that the "edit" command is simply not implemented in SourceCast - AFAIK you can do the same with "chmod ug+w l10n.list" - Pls try this, and then check if you can modify and commit the file.
I agree with Jack. Command `cvs edit` can be substituted with `chmod ug+w` on the files you want to change.
A couple of points. 1: chmod does not exist on all machines that support CVS. You have therefore suggested a platform specific work around. 2: On those platforms that do support chmod, the effects of edit are a superset of chmod. Edit registers usage information on the server so as to better enable the concurrent development for which CVS is named. The CVS edit command is a commonly used feature of CVS. If it does not work (or is not supported), this fact should be well documented and the error message should be changed to accurately reflect this deficiency. I have dropped the priority down to 3 for this given that it no longer appears that it no longer appears to be a blocking issue to check in.

I'm suggesting a method of testing what the real problem is here, and what this issue should address. If you are able to modify/commit, then it would appear that the cvs edit command is not supported. If that is true, this issue summary should be updated to reflect this, and I will assign it to Collab so they can investigate and evaluate what to do about it. If you are not able to modify/commit, then it would appear there is a problem with SourceCast's roles/permissions. In that case we ought to do more testing, tweaking your given roles etc. Does your last comment : > it no longer appears that it no longer appears to be a > blocking issue to check in. mean that you are able to check in ? Please confirm. Thanks.
I could have sworn that I have entered this information before. I confirm that I am able to check into CVS. I thought I addede this comment a long time ago, must not have commited it or I am just getting senile. In any event YES, I can do cvs commit's to data that I should be able to do that with.
OK, so it looks like either there is something specifically wrong with the CVS edit command, or it is simply not supported in SourceCast. Assigning to Collab.
It may be that we have not implemented this. We'll take a look.
I have added the Version control-Edit permission to the Project Owner, Developer, and Content Developer roles through the Administer Roles interface. It is not present by default, you should now be able to edit files.
Marking this as verified, adding Version control-Edit permission to the Project Owner resolved the issue. Thanks, Kavitha Support operations
