Good Day:<br><br>I was trying to following the instructions for
building the FGS MapTools from the CVS repository (I was viewing the
instructions at: <a href="http://www.maptools.org/fgs/index.phtml?page=fgs-sandbox.html" target="_blank">http://www.maptools.org/fgs/index.phtml?page=fgs-sandbox.html</a>).<br>
<br>The CVS repository appears to be in a bad state (it lets me login, but prevents me from checking out or exporting code).<br><br>Here is a synopsis of what I'm seeing:<br><br>[pkb@dhcp110 tmp]$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsanon@cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot<br>

[pkb@dhcp110 tmp]$ <br><br>I suspect that the issue is with respect to permissions on files/directories at the CVS server (I don't think its at my end). I tried searching the mail archives, but didn't see anyone else mentioning anonymous CVS issues.<br>
<br>Could someone else try doing a anonymous CVS checkout and see if they see the same issue, or suggest something that I might change at my end?<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Paul<br>
