Bug 27676 – echangelog breaks under sudo

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-developer

[Description Brandon Hale (RETIRED) 2003-08-31 18:29:41 UTC]

If I run sudo echangelog or echangelog under sudo -s, echangelog claims that i
need to cvs add a file, even though I have already done so. Works fine with su -.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo -s
2. cvs add somepackage
3. echangelog

Since I never do anything cvs-related as root, this is hard for me to
test.  If you look in echangelog, all it's doing is running "cvs diff
--brief" to figure out what has changed in the directory.  It looks
like that command isn't working correctly, probably something
environment related.

What happens when you run "cvs diff" in your sequence instead of
"echangelog"?
