Attached is a script that can be used to test whether cvsps has been fixed or not.
** Attachment added: "cvsps test script" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cvsps/+bug/1413084/+attachment/4319685/+files/test-cvsps.sh ** Description changed: - If the CVS server prints more than on "M" response line to the "version" - command, cvsps prints "cvs_direct: protocol error reading version" and - fails to read the repository. + [Impact] + + If the CVS server prints more than one "M" response line to the + "version" command, cvsps (in --cvs-direct mode) prints "cvs_direct: + protocol error reading version" and fails to read the repository. For example, cvsps does not like the following exchange: Client: version Server: M Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13 (client/server) Server: M with CVSACL Patch 1.2.5 (cvsacl.sourceforge.net) Server: ok - I know that cvsps has been deprecated upstream in favor of cvs-fast- - export, but it is still used by 'git cvsimport'. + (Note: cvsps has been deprecated upstream in favor of cvs-fast-export, + but it is still used by 'git cvsimport'.) + + [Test Case] + + Download and run the attached test script. The output looks like this + if the installed version of cvsps has the bug: + + cvs_direct initialized to CVSROOT /foo + cvs_direct: protocol error reading version + ERROR: cvsps does not appear to work with multi-line version strings + + and it looks like this if the bug has been fixed: + + cvs_direct initialized to CVSROOT /foo + test passed + + [Regression Potential] + + No immediately obvious risks. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1413084 Title: cvsps chokes on servers that print more than one "M" response to "version" command To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cvsps/+bug/1413084/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
