Fixed. Now val-tags is world writable.

The CVSROOT directory is currently not writable for security reasons. I will ask the sysadmins to find a way to fix this as soon as Savannah is fully functionnal again.
Thanks for the info.

The solution to use -D date_of_release seems to be a good workaround for now.

Oh, hm, http://lists.lysator.liu.se/pipermail/pike-devel/2002-December/001382.html seems to have a good description of what the problem is.

On the mldonkey project, in particular, I can't seem to actually use any of the tags defined.  I get the following error:

  cvs [server aborted]: cannot write /cvsroot/mldonkey/CVSROOT/val-tags: Permission denied

I have tried doing:

  cvs -z3 -d:ext:anoncvs@savannah.nongnu.org:/cvsroot/mldonkey co -r release-2-5-7 mldonkey

and also starting with a fresh checkout of mldonkey (which works fine), and then doing:

  cvs update -r release-2-5-7

on the checked-out version.  "cvs log" tells me that the tag I'm trying to use exists, and I've tried other ones as well.  Looking around on the internet, it seems that this problem has bitten other people and is just some permissions issue on the CVS server, but I couldn't find the actual solution anywhere.  Thanks!
