OS: HP-UX SVN: svn, version 1.7.6 (r1370777) compiled Aug 20 2012, 15:40:19
SVN are download from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ HP-UX mktemp man page http://docstore.mik.ua/manuals/hp-ux/en/B2355-60130/mktemp.3C.html When I tried to perform a commit with HP-UX svn client, I received the following error: svn: E000002: Can't create temporary file from template '/tmp/svn-XXXXXX': No such file or directory svn: E000002: Your commit message was left in a temporary file: svn: E000002: '/home/nginhui/svn-commit.2.tmp' After some investigation into SVN 1.7.6 and APR source code, I noticed: SVN client: io.c:4036 - temp_file_create function call apr_file_mktemp with flag set to not delete when close APR: mktemp.c:190 - apr_file_mktemp function call Unix mktemp It seems the problem due to mktemp HP-UX open file with the following format (base on template "svn-XXXXXX") svn-[a-z]<PID> . For instance: PID= 23451, first call to mktemp you will have a temp file open as /tmp/svn-a23451 the next call to mktemp will result in /tmp/svn-b23451 and so on, eventually it will reach z (26 files later), it simple exit with error since it run out of character What I am not sure is if this is a bug in SVN or APR, shouldn't SVN client set the flag to delete the temp file as soon as it is close? On the other hands, APR should have use tmpfile function instead of mktemp or the internally implementation gettemp. Regards, Edwin
