[ATTN maintainer] rcs

[ATTN maintainer] rcs

[Achim Gratz]

I've developed a patch for the infamous and two-year-old rcs bug that
destroys data, based on the analysis by Peter Wagemans and an earlier
demonstration script by Don Hatch.  The patch has been sent upstream,
but there was no reaction for the last week:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.rcs.bugs/2772

I have compiled test packages for both architectures including this
patch.

Volker was supposed to be abroad until end of June.  Are you back
Volker?  Any spare cycles to have a look?

Hi Corinna

Yes, just 2 days ago, and I have to catch up with real work again. It
also looks like I can't do any cygwin work until begin if august, sorry.

It would be nice if Achim takes over rcs, as I don't use it anymore
these days. It's already cygported...

Thanks, Volker.  Achim, are you taking the offer?

OK.  I guess the way upstream (doesn't) move there's no danger that I'm
overwhelmed with updates.

BTW, the fix I've had to do might still point to a bug in Cygwin, but I
have no idea what kind of guarantees POSIX makes about streams whose
file handles have been shared across an exec.  I haven't had time yet to
isolate it into a simple(r) test case either.


Regards,
Achim.

Done.  You're maintainer now.
