795503 - Regression CVS Commit Access for Brian Smith stopped working

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 611132

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Brian Smith (:briansmith, :bsmith, use NEEDINFO?)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #615673 +++

I have been having trouble commiting to cvs.mozilla.org for a while now (a month or maybe more). Others have been checking in my patches so I didn't notice too much. But, I really need to get my commit access back.

The command I am trying to use is:

cvs -d :ext:[e-mail]:/cvsroot commit -m "...."

cvs [commit aborted]: cannot exec : No such file or directory
cvs [commit aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

Before, I was getting an error that said I did not have write access to the repository.

My Mercurial access is working fine.

Bug 615673 is where I got my initial commit access.

Everything looks OK on the CVS machine for your account, assuming that you are using the same SSH key that you use for HG.

Can you please answer these questions?
- What's the output of ssh -l "bsmith%mozilla.com" cvs.mozilla.org ?
- Do you still have a CVSROOT environment?

It seems like the problem is with my local installation of CVS, which came from MozillaBuild. When I replaced it with the version that Wan-Teh referenced in bug 611132, things started working again.
