Having an active upstream is usually good. Though it would mean for me as a Fedora maintainer a lot of work with rebasing the Fedora patches to the new upstream version. > Do you have any thoughts on 1.11.23 vs 1.12.13? > 1.11 was a stable branch, 1.12 was a developmental branch. Fedora stays on the stable branch. If there was new upstream relase declared as a stable release, Fedora would probably rebase to it. > I think there are some unanswered questions: > > - Are there any significant changes between 1.11.23 and 1.12.13? > > - Is there any significant changes between the Fedora patched 1.11.23 > and 1.12.13? > I have never looked deeply into 1.12.13. Fedora's patches for 1.11.23 are fixes for 1.11.23. I have no idea whether somobody merged them into 1.12.13. > I'm just trying to explore if it is as at all feasible to resume > development of CVS.

Whenever I hear about CVS it is from RHEL users who want it EPEL repositories. So I guess there is a legacy demand to some extend. -- Petr
