Republish: FreeBSD 6.0 & cvsd
Republishing a post from my old jroller blog.
After searching the net for an several hours i found the solution on a german blog, I decided to publish the english translation.
When running cvsd-buildroot there is a error message in the output:
Creating /var/lib/cvsd/dev devices... FAILED (unable to use devices)
If you ignore the error an try to access the CVS Repository you get the folowing error “open /dev/null failed” - even if the jail has sufficent rights.
I found the solution on a german blog, who found the solution on a korean blog entry.
