Unable to grab 2.5 tree via bkbits

$ bk clone http://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.5 linux-2.5

$ bk clone http://linus.bkbits.net/linux-2.5 linux-2.5

I am trying to grab the kernel via bk but I am not able to find the rigth directory. My first attempt was as follows:

Quoted 1 line

$ bk clone http://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.5 linux-2.5

Clone http://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.5 -> file://usr/src/linux-2.5 linux-2.5: No such file or directory

Yet when I when I viewed the hosted projects at www.bkbits.net I noticed that there was a linus project for the kernel. So I tried that:

Quoted 1 line

$ bk clone http://linus.bkbits.net/linux-2.5 linux-2.5

Clone http://linus.bkbits.net/linux-2.5 -> file://usr/src/linux-2.5 linux-2.5: No such file or directory

So far I see no messages that alert me to a problem with bkbits.net so I am suspecting the problem is on my end. Can someone show me the errors of my ways?

Just to verify, I'm definitely able to pull and clone from
http://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.5 ... I even cut-n-pasted your first command line to be sure.

It sounds like a local problem... disk space? no rights to write to curdir?

Its a local problem. No write permissions set.

Bitkeeper: Can you write the bk client to alert the user that it was unable to write to the local directory? It would help alert people to set things up properly.
