Distro patches

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi,

I am planning to install cvs-1.12.13 to serve repositories, probably
manually installed instead of using a distro package.

I looked for differences in the Debian package that we currently use
and was somewhat surprised to see 20-30 patches, covering bugs as well
as new features (including an interesting CVSROOT/passwd override),
most if not all _not_ included in HEAD. Fedora does the same, to a
lesser extent.


Were those patches rejected by the CVS devs, or were they simply not
submitted here?


Thanks,
