Hello,
I'm using cvs from Suse 8.2 (cvs-1.11.5-43), tried to check out some software
and was rewarded with the following result:
jmayer@alice:~/work/games/freeoxyd/enigma> cvs -t up
-> main loop with CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/enigma
-> Connecting to subversions.gnu.org(199.232.41.2):2401
can't create temporary directory /mnt/ramfs/cvs-serv22847
Permission denied
-> Lock_Cleanup()
jmayer@alice:~/work/games/freeoxyd/enigma>
So far I'd assumed that CVS does not try to access files outside my local
cvs tree. I'm especially astonished that the client allows access to
absolute file/path names.
It this behaviour acceptable? I think not, but then, that's just my
personal paranoid opinion.
Comments?
Ciao
Jörg
