(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Roberto Estrada]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061822 Firefox 3.0 MEGAUPLOAD 2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061822 Firefox 3.0

After downloading and decompressing the Firefox 3 from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/source/firefox-3.0-source.tar.bz2 and configuring .mozconfig to build with es-ES locale support, the build system says that is unable to checkout the l10n folder from cvsroot due to the inexistence of a user with username anonymous with password anonymous

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download the source tarball from ttp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/source/firefox-3.0-source.tar.bz2 and uncompress it
2.Set up your .mozconfig file without setting any mk_add_options LOCALES_CVSROOT
3.execute in the shell the following command: make -f client.mk checkout
Actual Results:  
Unable to checkout locale "ab-CD" from cvsroot because the user anonymous:anonymous does not exist

Expected Results:  
Checkout succesful

The bug can be fixed easily adding the following to the .mozconfig file

mk_add_options LOCALES_CVSROOT=:pserver:[e-mail]:/l10n

Note that this is only to anonymous people without commit access to the mozilla source tree

Are you building on windows ? If so, are you using Cygwin or MozillaBuild ? I think this problem is limited to only some cvs clients.

I'm using Mozilla Build 1.3 on Windows XP SP2 with Visual C++ 2005 Compiler, after adding mk_add_options LOCALES_CVSROOT=:pserver:[e-mail]:/l10n at .mozconfig all went well, but building previous versions of firefox i didn't need that line

Ok, what does "cvs -v" return ?

It only affects Firefox 3.0 because bug 347156 only landed on HEAD in cvs (2.0 is off MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH in cvs).

cvs -v returns the following:

$ cvs -v

CVS is long gone.
