Bug#617578: [wnpp] The maintainer of cvs is looking for adopters
WNPP Monitor dixit:
>The maintainer of cvs package in Debian is looking for people willing
>to adopt the package.
Hi Steve,
I’d be willing to take on CVS. Please note that I would probably
totally trash your existing packaging and replace it, backing out
things like changing from YYYY/MM/DD to YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601 be
damned if it breaks checksums on checked-out files) and other
changes that prove to be faulty, replacing it with something like
this: https://www.mirbsd.org/cvs.cgi/contrib/hosted/tg/deb/cvs/debian/
I am also a sworn enemy of pserver and will insist on people
using cvs over ssh as should be.
If you feel your faith can handle me taking it over like this,
especially as Jesse Vincent somewhere has a photo of me at
LSM/RMLL 2010 proclaiming “I ❦ CVS”, I will take over. I’m a
very active user of cvs especially on MirBSD, and the above
mentioned Debian packaging is approximately exactly what we
got in MirBSD. (While doing that I *did* look at *all* of the
patches in your current Debian packaging, and MidnightBSD’s,
and took over all that made sense, reverted some which only
broke things later.)
bye,
//mirabilos
