The val-tags file contains a list of tags (like "RELENG_2_2_7_RELEASE") which are known to exist somewhere in the repository. If you specify a tag to a cvs operation, cvs checks the val-tags file to see if the tag you gave is really a valid one. If it is listed in the file, then it is valid. If it is not listed, then cvs actually starts searching for it in the files in the repository. If it finds it there, then it enters the tag into the val-tags file, to avoid the search the next time the tag is used. Clearly, the anoncvs server does not have the necessary permissions to do that. I think it is probably a bug. Either that, or the permissions of the val-tags file are wrong on the anoncvs machine. I don't have a way to check that. Don't tell Jordan, or he'll give me a login on the machine and expect me to fix it. :-) John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
