Package: viewvc
Version: 1.1.5-1.1
Severity: important

As reported in the upstream bug tracker (#467) viewvc sends the wrong content 
length
when compression is enabled, causing browsers to hang until a timeout is reached
(typically 15s). This is fixed upstream in svn (r2471) and was merged into 
version
1.1.8. See http://viewvc.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=467

This bug makes viewvc virtually unusable, so please merge this fix into stable.
I'm attaching a patch based on svn change 2471 but massaged for 1.1.5.

For unstable, use the packaged 1.1.9 offered in bug #614509.

A workaround is to ensure allow_compress = 0 in the configuration.
