And that cvs would be the backported cvsnt version! Since we are using a cvs.exe binary from 2006 on our server I realized that it would be great to be able to get that onto my new Ubuntu Server and have it parse the repository (CVSNT always kept the format line-ending-wise anyway, so the repository files are compatible. But it seems like it is not possible anymore to get the cvs from the cvsnt project into a Linux box... Or is there some way to do it? I belive we have used some cvsnt specific constructs, like setting -kbx on some binary files requiring exclusive editing etc. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
