Subject: Bug#3970: cvsinit is not in cvs-1.8.1-1

From: Douglas Bates <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 30 Jul 96 11:13:20 -0500

Package: cvs
Section: devel
Maintainer: Bill Mitchell <[email-masked]>
Version: 1.8.1-1
Depends: libc5, rcs

The usual way of initializing a CVS repository is to use the cvsinit
script.  The documentation in /usr/doc/cvs/README recommends this but
I can't find cvsinit anywhere in the package.  Did I miss something?

BTW, the output of
 dpkg -s cvs
as given above indicates that Bill Mitchell is the maintainer.  If I
check in /var/lib/dpkg/available for cvs (as shown below) it indicates
that Mark Eichin is the maintainer.

Yep.  As of 1.8.1, use "cvs init"---it's now built into the program.

Mike.
