Package: rcs-latex
Version: 3.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Newer CVS versions (such as the one in debian unstable) insert date
tags in ISO form, like this:
$Date: 2006-05-29 16:16:27 $
These fail to work with the original rcs.sty.
I have included a backwards compatible patch that fixes rcs.sty; I
have also submitted the patch upstream.
