Re: CVS priority standard?

I'd prefer that too...
I'd suggest using popularity-contest for such decisions.
[...]
autoconf 731 244 143 0
gcc-2.95 713 167 186 0
autoconf2.13 637 76 122 0
cvs 533 246 336 1
g++ 495 514 280 1
[... 12 packages ...]
libgtk1.2-dev 316 201 295 0
rcs 306 692 71 1
gdb 287 427 506 1
[...]
So it looks like cvs is used more than rcs...
i'd suggest removing rcs from standard as well.
(I use cvs everyday, but i can't remember typing rcs...)
maybe add "autoconf" to standard instead - that really helps everyone
who tries to build software himself ;)

Erich
