Not the same, but close enough. > Is it possible, that the users, who are still using cvsup-bin, will face > problems similar to the jakarta-tomcat one in the future? Yes, although I surely hope not. :-( Users should upgrade, preferably to the cvsup-devel port, which has many bug fixes that aren't present in the other ports. > And just for my personal interest: What is the problem with the > cvsup-bin port, that it won't be patched? It is a binary, and binaries are difficult to patch. I could produce an entirely new binary, but there's no point to that since I have made the cvsup and cvsup-devel packages stand-alone now.
