The pkgsrc version is:

 stilly:/usr/pkgsrc/wip$ pkg_info cvs
 Information for cvs-1.11.11:
 ...

But it says it is:

 stilly:/usr/pkgsrc/wip$ /usr/pkg/bin/cvs --version

 Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.10 (client/server)
 ...

The package has a cvs-1.11.11-v6-20031220.diff.gz diff that has:

-PACKAGE_VERSION='1.11.11'
-PACKAGE_STRING='Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.11'
+PACKAGE_VERSION='1.11.11+IPv6'
+PACKAGE_STRING='Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.10'

ps. I noticed all this because of problems with sourceforge keep on
dieing with signal 11 (I am sure it is on their side, but I am seeing
message locally) and then getting stale locks which I can't clean up
myself. They told me to use cvs-1.11.11 or newer.

pps. netbsd-1-6's cvs also says it is wrong version.



p.s. please cc me
