  • 2005-07-29 cvsd homepage moved
    Since the old server is no longer available the cvsd homepage has been moved to http://ch.tudelft.nl/~arthur/cvsd/. As a consequence the new contact email address has been changed to arthur@ch.tudelft.nl. The old homepage and email address no longer work.
    This also means that the cvs pserver access to the repository is currently disabled until a replacement is found.

    changes since 1.0.7:
    • new and updated translations of debconf templates
    • some Debian package improvements
    Get this release from the downloads section. With this release no more binaries for Debian/woody will be provided since Debian/sarge has been released as stable (containing cvsd).
  • 2005-05-21 several security fixes in cvs
    Several security problems were corrected in the latest releases of cvs. This includes a potential buffer overflow and several other minor security issues.
    These problems have been fixed in version 1.11.20 for the stable release and 1.12.12 for the feature release of cvs.
    Note that there were also some problems with the contributed trigger scripts. If you use any of these scripts, it is good to review them (see the NEWS file for details).
    You are advised to upgrade cvs (remember to also upgrade cvs inside the chroot jail with cvsd-buildroot).
