Anonymous CVS access works for me, but developer access now seems to have stopped working. TortoiseCVS comes up with this error:
Code:
cvs checkout: failed to create lock directory for `/cvsroot/megui/MeGUI-src.CVS' (/cvsroot/megui/MeGUI-src.CVS/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs checkout: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/cvsroot/megui/MeGUI-src.CVS'
cvs [checkout aborted]: read lock failed - giving up
cvs.exe checkout: in directory .:
cvs.exe checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or directory

Error, CVS operation failed
A google of "failed to obtain dir lock in repository" shows this result, which gives the advice:
Quote:
I am told that this happens sometimes when a check in doesn't work correctly, and the project admin needs to delete the #cvs.lock file.
