Hi,

somebody add and commit pkgfiles into CVS.

vym and bibledesktop packages. --

Hello,

that was me. I was following the wiki, and this were my first packages in community. Is doing so wrong?  If yes, I am sorry. The problem then may be also valid for packages for codeblocks and ex-vi.  

I cleaned up ex-vi.  As I am sure Angel pointed out to you already, you only need to add the PKGBUILD, install file, Changelog and any patches to cvs.  You do not need to add the package.

BTW I could not upload a package for fotoxx (categor, getting an error message similar to this:

failed to create lock directory for `/home/cvs-community' (/var/lock/cvs/./#cvs.lock): Permission denied cvs remove: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/home/cvs-community' cvs [remove aborted]: read lock failed - giving up  

My guess is both you and another TU tried commiting to cvs at the same time.  Try uploading again. Allan Thank you, he pointed that out now. The error concerning fotoxx goes somewhat deeper. I was not able to update it, I even got a similar message if I try a 'cvs remove fotoxx-5.3-1.pkg.tar.gz'. Sorry for all that. I added the sentences "Build files are files necessary to build the package, not the package itself. Do not add any *.pkg.tar.gz-files." to the Wiki, because this was the misleading part of the Wiki for me. Stefan
