Probably. For the moment, I'm documenting the following behavior I
have seen on a CURRENT system last updated on April 25. Note the
marked lines:
hades+charon:/tmp$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.xfree86.org:/cvs
hades+charon:/tmp$ ls -l ~/.cvspass
ls: /home/charon/.cvspass: No such file or directory
hades+charon:/tmp$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.xfree86.org:2401/cvs
CVS password:
1 cvs login: failed to open /home/charon/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory
cvs [login aborted]: fatal error: exiting
hades+charon:/tmp$ touch ~/.cvspass
hades+charon:/tmp$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.xfree86.org:2401/cvs
CVS password:
2 hades+charon:/tmp$
In the second attempt, just touching ~/.cvspass fixed things! I'll
check the development sources of CVS to see if they have this fixed in
their tree, and report it as a problem. When it's solved, and we have
that version imported we can kill the added note :)
