Please sync cvs 2:1.12.13+real-5 (main) from Debian sid (main)

[Thorsten Glaser]

Binary package hint: cvs

Hi,

I’m the new maintainer of CVS in Debian, and have made a totally new package.
The Ubuntu specific changes from 1:1.12.13-12ubuntu1 by Kees Cook have been
included there (thanks!): not using snprintf in gnulib’s vasnprintf to avoid
“having %n in writable memory”. Thus, I confirm explicitly that the Ubuntu
changes should be overridden.

The package builds cleanly in a fresh (2011-06-11) oneiric cowbuilder, and
lintian (2.5.0ubuntu1) doesn’t complain much. Basic operation testing passes.

This sync will close most if not all remaining open bugs of cvs in Ubuntu.

@Thorsten, I just wanted to add.. Thanks for looking at the bugs reported against Ubuntu and resolving them.

It really is appreciated!

[Thorsten Glaser (mirabilos)]

Yes, even if I don’t always have as much time as I’d like, I take my packages serious. It helps that the bugs show up in the DDPO on Debian side… on the other hand, CVS is probably the one where I can change the codebase the least percentage. There’s a lot of bugreports in CVS in Debian that are just, well, the code is like that and it’s expected, not implemented, or opinion. Others are bugs I can’t fix myself either. I’ll need to get upstream involved more, but… you know. *shrug* I try my best, still.

Thanks for ACKing.
