Package: viewcvs Version: 0.9.2+cvs.1.0.dev.2003.08.26-1 Severity: normal ViewCVS hasn't seen a maintainer upload since 14 September 2003. This is probably not ideal for a CVS snapshot.
Also, ViewCVS has been broken with respect to Subversion repositories since Subversion 0.37 came out. Subversion 0.37-1 entered Debian about 18 November 2003. A fix for this problem has been known since 29 October 2003, when it was committed to ViewCVS's upstream CVS. I rattled my saber about NMUing this package on 10 March 2004. There has been no reply from the package maintainer as far as I've been able to determine. I have uploaded this NMU to Tollef Fog Heen's delayed queue on gluck with a delay of 3 days. This NMU works with respect to my Subversion 1.0.1 repositories on necrotic.deadbeast.net[1]. If someone has a problem with this action, please let me know. For that matter, let debian-devel know, so there can be a public discussion of how we should improve the Debian Developer's Reference to address this scenario. (Or maybe debian-project would be more appropriate.) NMU diff attached. [1] E.g., http://necrotic.deadbeast.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/branches/4.3.0/sid/debian/changelog -- G.
