That produced interesting results:

[/parted/manual]% cvs commit -m "index.html" index.html
cvs commit: use `cvs add' to create an entry for index.html
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!
[/parted/manual]% cvs add index.html
cvs add: `index.html' added independently by second party
[/parted/manual]% cvs update
? index.html
cvs update: Updating .
cvs update: move away ./index.html; it is in the way
C index.html
cvs update: Updating html_node

After that, I removed index.html, downloaded the repo copy, replaced it, and the commit works now.

I would swear I did "cvs update" before and it didn't show me those errors.  Oh well, I'm glad it works now.  Thanks for your help, Sylvain!

Some of the files are updated, some others aren't.

Apparently lots of files are renamed.

Can you try to commit index.html directly:
cvs commit -m "specific commit" index.html

and if still not working:
cvs commit -f -m "specific forced commit" index.html

Updating the rest of the web site works perfectly, only the whole contents of "manual" do not get updated.

I tried to run "cvs update" before commit, but it did not help either.  I don't get any errors on commit, it just doesn't work.

All files, and more importantly all directories, are owned by group 'parted'. There should not be any issue :)

sv_cvs:/web/parted/parted# find -not -group "parted"
-> nothing

I recently added some ACL permissions for members of group 'www' to be able to commit to any GNU webpages, but I doubt that's the cause of your problem.

Apparently cvs says you cannot add a file if it was already added by somebody else. Did you 'cvs update' before to try to update the manual?

Feel free to send me more traces. I am not sure which index.html file you are mentioning :/

GNU Parted has a problem with its web page CVS repository:  some files in manual are owned by "sinuhe" and I cannot update them.  We are stuck with a very old version of the manual right now.  Committing does not produce any error, the files are just not updated.  The rest works fine.

Trying a "cvs add" on the offending files gives:

cvs add: `index.html' added independently by second party

Any help appreciated!
