Are you using cvs on the command line, or a GUI? WinCVS for example (and probably its brethren), defaults to checking out readonly. Its in the globals I think (not at my dev machine at the moment)
I am using the commandline and cvs -w does not cut it either. And no I don't have CVSREAD set. But yes there still might be something I missed.
You might look in the docs to see if there's something that can be set in your .cvsrc to change this.
I did try this, without success. Also, note that only few files in Boost have watches on them, so this should not matter either.
But, I recall there were plans to switch to Subversion, which does not have such problems (in addition to being vastly better that CVS in other respect). What happened to those plans?
Definitely on hold until after 1.33.1 -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
