|  | == How do I remove a cvs lock? ==
 |  | 
|  | Ask someone with access to the repository (#bmo, #build) to remove the lock:
 |  | 
|  | 
 |  | 
|  | == cvs is bailing out with "signal 11 errors", what do I do? ==
 |  | 
|  | If cvs is crashing with an error like this:
 |  | 
|  | 
 |  | 
|  |  Terminated with fatal signal 11
 |  | 
|  |  make[1]: *** [real_checkout] Error 1
 |  | 
|  |  make[1]: Leaving directory `/builds/mozilla/Linux_2.4.17-rc1_Clobber'
 |  | 
|  |  make: *** [checkout] Error 2
 |  | 
|  | 
 |  | 
|  | This may be due to a case conflict, e.g. Makefile.in and makefile.in are both checked in, and makefile.in is hiding in the Attic directory. Figure out which file is the right one, and (safely) delete the presumed bogus file from the repository.

|  | When closing trees that use CVS source control you need to Open/Close the tree in bonsai:
 |  | 
|  | 
 |  | 
|  | * Go to [http://bonsai.mozilla.org/admin.cgi?&treeid=SeaMonkey Bonsai Administration] ['SeaMonkey' Tree] The top section is used to close the tree.  Note that closing SeaMonkey automatically closes Firefox3.0.
 |  | 
|  | * If opening the tree, uncheck "Clear the list of checkins". If you don't do this, you will clear the hook for the day.
 |  | 
|  | * Type in the mozilla [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=sheriffpass sheriff password].
 |  | 
|  | * Click on Close the tree button. The button will rename to Open the tree if the tree is currently closed.
