Re: problem with cvs binary?

The currently provided cvs executable does not work correctly, simple

Cygwin Package Information

cvs                  1.12.13-10     OK

CYGWIN_NT-5.1 virt-winxp 1.7.20(0.266/5/3) 2013-06-07 11:11 i686 Cygwin

The above should checkout the empty project to /tmp/workdir, but does
not work with the binary provided via setup.exe. This does work
correctly with a) cvs-1.12.13 rebuilt from sources, and b) with cvs v
1.11.22-1 downloaded from setup.exe. The expected result:

Thanks for the report. Rebuilding cvs against current 32bit w32api/cygwin is on my list, as well updating the 64bit package. However, it comes after (a) mingw-gcc cross compiler & friends, (b) automake-X.Y, and (c) libtool. :-(
