This port is based on the official cvs-1.12.13 'feature' release, as modified by debian lenny (version 1:1.12.13-12, 03 Sep 2008). [[ compiled using gcc-3.4.4-999 ]] This release is specific for cygwin-1.7. There are a few minor differences the between this package and the simultaneously- released cvs-1.12.13-1 for cygwin-1.5, other than the typical documentation-related ones. Significantly, this version of cvs supports IPv6, and exploits several new system functions available in the new cygwin DLL. CHANGES (from cvs-1.11.22-1) =========================== * Fork for cygwin-1.7 development - uses *at functions (fstatat, fchmodat, mkdirat, openat, etc) - supports IPv6 * updated to 'Feature Branch' 1.12.x which adds a number of new features and bugfixes. See /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cvs-*/NEWS * updated to Debian patchset 1.12.13-12 * updated to latest gnulib (2009-04-25, rev. b3fef2a47fcc4c239a618ffd71d55af00650572a) * updated to latest autoconf (2.63), automake (1.10.1), and gettext (0.17). * dropped (unused) cygwin-specific "gdbm" patches (cygwin cvs has been using flat-file, not gdbm, databases since 2006. There is no longer any need to maintain these patches, and because they have never had a future "upstream" I've decided to abandon them.) REGRESSION TEST RESULTS: ============================ "local" tests Fails 2 tests of 175, but 1.11.22-1 failed them too. (1) rcslib (still has issues with very long symlinks) (1) abspath (long-standing issue) However, in "local" mode cvs now passes 2 additional tests that version 1.11.22-1 failed: toplevel modes3 "remote" tests (exercised via an ssh loopback connection): Fails 11 of 175 tests, but none of the failures are significant. (1) rcslib : same as local case (not a regression) (2) parseroot : warning msg preceeding info msg missing (2) edit-check : error message has different format (2) writeproxy-noredirect : not really sure what's going on here (2) writeproxy-ssh-noredirect : ditto (3) status : timestamps over ssh (3) conflicts : ditto (1) lockfiles *1.7-specific* : [*] (3) binfiles : remote cvs can't track 'C'onflicts with binfiles (3) config : checkedout file missing group +w permission (3) stamps : ditto [*] I believe this is due to cygwin-1.7's "move to hidden folder try to (re)delete later" functionality, but that's just a guess. Almost all of the rest of locking functionality works ok. However, technically this is not a regression, as 1.11.22-1 failed this test. OTOH, this version of cvs compiled under cygwin-1.5 PASSES this test. However, in "remote" mode cvs now passes 6 additional tests that version 1.11.22-1 failed: pserver toplevel modules5 editor modes modes3 (1) not a regression, as 1.11.22-1 exhibited the same behavior (2) new tests, so not a regression (3) regreesions. However, the shortcomings seem to be insignificant. -- Charles Wilson volunteer cvs maintainer for cygwin ==================================================================== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
