Why does Eclipse (version 2.1.3) require access to the directory
CVSROOT/Emptydir when tagging a project in CVS?
When I tried to add a tag to my project in CVS, I received the following
error messages:
Problems reported tagging the resource.
Go2marineWebApplications: cvs server: failed to create lock directory
for `/usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/Emptydir'
(/usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/Emptydir/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
Go2marineWebApplications: cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in
repository `/usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/Emptydir'
Go2marineWebApplications: cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed -
giving up
Eclipse has not required the existence of this directory when checking out
a project in CVS or when synchronizing, updating or committing.
What is the directory "/usr/local/cvsroot/CVSROOT/Emptydir"? This
directory doesn't exist in my repository. I also scanned my workspace to
see if the directory was defined somewhere and it isn't.
Before I started using Eclipse, I used the cvs command line utility tag my
project in cvs. I have never received this error before or needed the
directory CVSROOT/Emptydir with the command line utility.
To get Eclipse to work, I ended up creating the directory and setting the
permissions to 777.
Is this a bug in Eclipse?
Thanks,
Keith

I think (did not try) this could be prevented by separating the lock
directory from the actual repository by having this entry in the CVS
config file:
# Put CVS lock files in this directory rather than directly in the
repository.
LockDir=d:/CVSREPO/LockDir
