RE: Upgrade CVS server from 1.10 to 1.16 or any latest

[Gagneet Singh]

Hi!

Firstly, if you are using the release version 1.10 then there is a major
security release in version 1.11.5. This information is available at the
cvshome site I have refered you to. If you go through the news of the
release version you will be able to find that out.

2003-01-20: CVS 1.11.5 Released! (security update) 
Contributed by: Derek Price 

CVS 1.11.5 has been released. This release fixes a major security
vulnerability in the CVS server. CVS client builds are not affected. The
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2003-0015 to this issue. See the text of
CAN-2003-0015 for more information.

You may also take a look at the NEWS file from the source distribution
or go directly to the downloads page.

Thanks go to Stefan Esser for his help on this issue!

The current release is 1.12.2, and I don't think there is any 1.16
release as yet, if you know of any please inform us about it.. :-)

For the 1.12.2 release the following is the news item published on the
site.

2003-10-27: CVS Feature Version 1.12.2 Released! 
Contributed by: Derek Price 

CVS 1.12.2 has been released! This release contains new features as well
as all the bug fixes from the stable release. This release fixes many
bugs in CVS 1.12.1 and adds nifty new features, including experimental
support for Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM). We recommend an
upgrade for users who like living on the cutting edge!

Take a look at the NEWS file from the source distribution or go directly
to the downloads page.

Thus, you can see from it that the NEWS file in the package will give
you information about all the features and comparative sudy of the new
features added sncve the last release. From this you can make your own
feature list and also post it on the newgroup / mailing list so that
others who have this query can look it up. That is the way that Free
Software functions and that is the way you will gain information using
free software.

The URL for the news file where all the changes and feature list can be
obtained is given for your reference below:

ext/x-cvsweb-markup

Hope this helps,
