Hello Christian,
>Package: cvs

>CVS suddenly stopped to function completely for me.
if you’ll have a look at the versions, you’ll see that cvs has
the same version in bullseye and bookworm, it’s bit for bit
identical, so this is very much a you problem, I’m afraid.
>First, I got an error message about 'rsh' not found (and indeed
CVS in Debian has defaulted to use ssh as CVS_RSH since the
late 2000s. You should not use rsh, unless you _really_ use
it to connect to the CVS server. It’s an insecure, unencrypted
protocol of the previous millennium.
Let’s try to debug this then!
First, check your environment ($CVS_RSH in particular) and,
if you have a ~/.cvsrc file, that one as well. Also, check
your CVSROOT (both in the environment, the -d option if you
use it, and in the CVS/Root files in your working copy) if
it sets the rsh somewhere.
You can also execute the command…
$ cvs -nttt up -l
… in your working copy somewhere. It will not change the
filesystem (-n), run verbosely (-t for trace), and just try
to update the directory without subdirectories, to keep the
output shorter.
>timed out'. This is using the cvs.savannah.gnu.org server. Note
Works for me…
$ cvs -qd :ext:mirabi...@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/web/grub rls -l grub

If you try this and it DOESN’T work for you, do it:
• in a directory that’s NOT a CVS working copy (in / if you must)
• add the -f option *before* the rls to skip ~/.cvsrc

PS: Please reply to the bug, not to me directly, or get a proper eMail
provider; Googlemail does not play with others but the BTS should
(hopefully) work.
