There's also a bunch of fixes (in my withdrawn 1.11.2) to work with modern autotools (at the time, they were still using ac-2.13 and am-1.5; I see that as of 1.11.3 they are now using ac-2.53 and am-1.6.3, which is a nice step forward)Data point: I'm running cvs-1.11.4 compiled OOTB. Admittedly thats in flatfile-dbm emulation mode (MY_NBDM), but I need that to work with repositories using that mode. Am I right in saying that your patches consist of cosmetically updating cygwin32 -> cygwin, and enabling the use of gdbm?
That is a stunner. Of course, I can't seem to find any record on any mailing list archive *@cvshome or bug-cvs@gnu.org of exactly how X Y and Z got their patches to the core developers. I'm starting to think the cvs people do their development on IRC or via some non-public medium. They just don't seem to really do things the open-source way...although in their defense, it seems that they have recently begun using issue-tracking based on bugzilla.Anyway, I'm stunned to hear that the bozos running the cvs project actually got around to releasing TWO new versions (1.11.3 and 1.11.4).Ah, you may be unsurprised to hear that 1.11.4 was simply fixing windows build regressions in 1.11.3, and was released the next day. On the other hand, you might be stunned by the release announcement, which says: thanks for the patches from X, Y and Z!
Yes, I'm going to ask about that on the cvsnt mailing list -- and will try to help them do so if they are willing. But not yet. :-)Extra bugfixes are always good. I just hope that cvsnt syncs with original cvs soon (still being based on 1.11.1).
