Package: viewcvs Severity: normal Note that the system this is being reported from is not the system on which the issue has been noted, infact viewcvs is not installed.
Reference: http://gna.org/support/?func=detailitem&item_id=1058 The link generated for 'diff' is partially missing the URI escaping. As an example, the following link: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gnustep?rev=22800&view=rev includes the 'diff to previous) link: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gnustep/libs/gui/trunk/Source/NSBitmapImageRep%2BJPEG.m?rev=22800&view=diff&r1=22800&r2=22799&p1=libs/gui/trunk/Source/NSBitmapImageRep+JPEG.m&p2=/libs/gui/trunk/Source/NSBitmapImageRep+JPEG.m which results in an "Invalid path(s) or revision(s) passed to diff" Exception. If you hand edit the URI replacing the '+' with '%2B' in the parameters to read: http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gnustep/libs/gui/trunk/Source/NSBitmapImageRep%2BJPEG.m?rev=22800&view=diff&r1=22800&r2=22799&p1=libs/gui/trunk/Source/NSBitmapImageRep%2BJPEG.m&p2=/libs/gui/trunk/Source/NSBitmapImageRep%2BJPEG.m the expected results are presented. Note that this has probably been resolved upstream and the issue tracker contains a patch (yet I don't know whether that's the patch that solved the issue upstream): http://viewvc.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=99 So the question is, does this bug have security implications that would allow it to be fixed in sarge? It seems that even the unstable versions of the viewcvs package are still using an old snapshot (unstable: 0.9.2+cvs.1.0.dev.2004.07.28-4): http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=viewcvs&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all So I suppose this package is not being maintained any longer (last 'unstable' ChangeLog Thu, 21 Jul 2005) and I haven't found any 'viewvc' package. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-386 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
