It is documented at: > > http://www.cyclic.com/cvs/dev-y2k.html > > It only affects client/server installations. If I remember correctly (and I just perused the CVS sources), this is fixed in 1.9.28. Also, the other major Y2K bugs are easily fixed by using the version of 'getdate.y' from more recent releases. However, I'm not sure if this is acceptable. What I'd like to do (if Peter doesn't mind) is import 1.9.28 (which is what SRI has been using since it was released), and then also import the getdate.[cy] from 1.10 which should fix all known Y2K bugs in CVS, and still keep us totally compatible with older FreeBSD/CVS releases. (We had problems mixing 1.9/1.10 client/servers at SRI, so we reverted to using 1.9.28 client/servers on everything.)
