433582 - client.py checkout blows up if $CVSROOT is set globally

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

$ python client.py checkout
ssh: cvs.mozilla.org;C: no address associated with name
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
Executing command: ['cvs', '-d', '[e-mail];C:\\mozilla-build\\msys\\cvsroot',
'checkout', '-P', '-r', 'NSPR_4_7_1_RTM', '-d', 'nsprpub', 'mozilla/nsprpub']

Msys being too smart for its own good?

Just to corroborate; This was run on ubuntu 10.04, amd64. This script should sanitize its environment before running cvs.

~/build/comm-central % python client.py checkout
