-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Package: cvs Version: 2:1.12.13+real-9 Severity: important
I use cvs solely to manage my DNS zones via dnscvsutil. dnscvsutil is not anymore in debian, I know, but this is not the reason for this report. The reason is, that, for obvious reasons (reload of bind afterwards) the cvs hooks has to be done as root. I am the only one that change the zones so it is not a security problem at all to commit as root. Moreover there might be other reasons to have a local cvs repository that has to run as root. For example using it as backend for etckeeper. The use of cvs is not that uncommon to have a time history of local changes. So, back to the problem. The server was migrated from oldstable to stable recently and now I am unable to manage my DNS zones. There is even no note in changelog that this change was done. Looking at the source I can see that this stupid idea (not allowing root to commit) is not overwritable when using cvs. It is a configure option (--enable-rootcommit). Please enable this again to make cvs usable again. In the mean time I have to go back to the version in oldstable. - -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) - -- Klaus Ethgen http://www.ethgen.ch/ pub 4096R/4E20AF1C 2011-05-16 Klaus Ethgen <kl...@ethgen.de> Fingerprint: 85D4 CA42 952C 949B 1753 62B3 79D0 B06F 4E20 AF1C -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) iQGcBAEBCgAGBQJStLoWAAoJEKZ8CrGAGfasbVkL/izZiCsiywCB8aCT2vrqQBx2 lrWHgDNI99d6hfR49ljuvT1BPfZfJoTckQMTIZdgVO0wqdoURd/Ea3vhY2MKTgWl XWPyQHZrBax4jZaVua9nX3kUBCby6Dke5A0WUIpMMSewCH2fZ4Ua1kR1lL1PjDrn JFi6VsICmwf9rwUmpza94bgMKRVYENSv9Px5QxifKD2AxC+PUh3cjB8fRfxS2GXk 4xjKNn/iCuscCkqgdOQ/i1tXqivVWMc4Pba9v2otpP4H10I3f1YTUjrl1hpa5qRG ORrvmmK7ifGH0UzCY4Mifc5aaIH0KOmohPqjDII97eI+bl2Fx5y6v2nwsHH+2jG7 hRig9G75SCqKYPkoAIUv9Jc+A//FF/p02z6XlUPM9F6hiZCa/s1KAN7ulUxbqowt mUIWlmpjwmSCI2fxfzAHHuviQK0B0+UdbitgMrsNUkJAh9srFe6Slq4ixWzCp/WF J/8L1dWUdnWKdrBpfPK75IxChncrxe34eDfpWGXJPw== =Bp03 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
