Thanks Steve.  I'm not sure exactly what I said, but that's a close as 
anything I can remember.  In any case, I stand by it, or would if it were 
still relevant.

But it's not!  Thanks to Jonathan and Ben, E now has anoncvs access.  
Hallelujah!


Btw, I think we've got a few technical problems.  Since the e-cvs list was 
announced, I did two commits.  The first was posted to the email list and 
archive.  The second hasn't yet shown up on either.


I tried doing an anoncvs checkout of e, just to ensure that it worked.  It 
didn't.  I got:

  [markm@caplet ex]$ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.eros-os.org:/cvs co e
  cvs server: Updating e
  cvs server: failed to create lock directory in repository `/cvs/e': Permission denied
  cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvs/e'
  cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up


When I commit, I get messages of the form 

  bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
  bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied

This has been happening for a while and hasn't affected any state I care 
about, so I've been stupidly ignoring it.  However, perhaps it's related to 
the other problems?




        Cheers,
