Subject: older version of cvs in Cygwin?
Date: Sat, 03 Sep 2016 07:29:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2146870425.1120693.1472887755339@mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2146870425.1120693.1472887755339.ref@mail.yahoo.com>
In Cygwin's supplied cvs package:
$ cvs --version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.23 (client/server)
Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
[..]
This seems to be an older version of cvs, and SourceForge's cvs server won't always interoperate with it to do e.g. the cvs remove command. Choices to install are 1.11.23-2 and the older 1.11.22-1.
Later versions of cvs don't have this problem. Oddly, the later versions of cvs I have access to on other systems have a later version number but an earlier copyright year... 2005 vs 2006.
(ubuntu linux)
lloyd@lloyd-ubuntu-14-64:~$ cvs --version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13-MirDebian-11 (client/server)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
(mac os x snow leopard)
$ cvs --version
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13 (client/server)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Can the cvs package in cygwin be updated?
thanks
