Thank you for looking in this. I have an unproven theory that the problem is not cvsweb. > We should probably test that FreshPorts can work with the new version > before setting it in "production". Your investigation prompted me to check my local repository which uses cvsweb-2.0.6. cvsweb has no problem with that file. I see that FreeBSD is using FreeBSD-CVSweb 2.0.6. It has a problem with that file. This suggests that the problem may not be with cvsweb, but with something else. The error message: Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. A grep of the repo projects/cvsweb does not find "Bad Request". This also suggests it could be something other than cvsweb that is displaying this message. > I have CC'ed the cvsweb maintainer to hear if he has any comments on > the impact of doing an upgrade (mainly if there are any know > incompatibilities). Perhaps he knows about the above mentioned error message displayed when browsing to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/devel/gdb6/files/patch- i386%25nm-fbsd64.h thanks -- Dan Langille : http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference - http://www.bsdcan.org/ NEW brochure available at http://www.bsdcan.org/2005/advocacy/
