I see older versions of cvs tended to come with their own source for a now-known-to-be-buggy version of zlib. (i.e. a security risk).
Even the (older) cvs-1.11 I do have (though not fully deployed) uses an included zlib apparent version 1.0.4 c1996. Do newer versions (or perhaps even older versions) look for a common and/or shared zlib/libz ? Does anyone know about the forward compatiblity of zlib/libz routines? Would I be able to simply replace the use of ../zlib/libz.a with my own static or shared version and rebuild? Would I need to be careful to also use the zlib.h file corresponding to the newer one, or have all changes been internal and not to the external subroutine interface as used by cvs? (This might help avoid me "changing versions of cvs mid-term"). Oh yes, as I was looking back through my mailbox for the email address, it sure looked like the signal-to-noise (spam) ratio on this list is getting absurd.
