Try `make really-bootstrap'. (Are you sure you're answering the right email, Stefan? :-) ) I've filed https://savannah.gnu.org/support/index.php?107070 for this. The problem is that the CVS server's /tmp dir is mounted read-only. I get the error too: $ cvs up -dP can't create temporary directory /tmp/cvs-serv23644 Read-only file system $ I also got this warning the first time I ran that just now: Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '140.186.70.72' to the list of known hosts. ...which makes me suspect savannah switched the CVS server to a new machine, and that the new machine is not configured right. -Karl
