Package: cscvs
Version: 1.0pre25.patch.79-3
Severity: wishlist


Various bugs came up on the gnu arch-users mailing list for cscvs, and
there was some surprise that cscvs was packaged for debian. It was
soon said that the preferred version is a different one than is being
packaged (the one being packaged isn't maintained at all right now).

The preferred branch, according to the cscvs wiki
(http://wiki.gnuarch.org/moin.cgi/cscvs) is:

There are two mainline branches of cscvs. The preferred one is at:

robertc@squid-cache.org--misc/cscvs--experimental--0
robertc@squid-cache.org--misc
    http://people.initd.org/robertc/misc/public
	
	
As the mailing list states:

Yeah, John Goerzen popped up one day with an ITP, AFAIK its your tree
he's packaged.

Speak for your own tree dude :}.

I've a raft of improvements and bugfixs that I'll be putting in my tree
in the next month or two. They're mostly already coded, but I'm
retrofitting a couple of hairy things, and don't want any new bugreports
until thats done :}. In the meantime, I'm happy to do tactical bugfixes
(vs the strategic ones in my pipeline) on my public tree.
