bug cvsup

E' stato scoperto un bug nel cvsup 16.1 inerente il passaggio a 
1.000.000.000 di secondi il timestamp di unix dopo il 09.09.2001 .

Consiglio a tutti di aggiornare le vostre installazioni prendendo il nuovo 
pacchetto:


Questo e' il testo del messaggio inviato dall'autore del cvsup,  John Polstra:

"This morning a bug was discovered in most versions of CVSup up to
and including SNAP_16_1c.  The bug causes all newly-updated files to
receive incorrect timestamps.  Usually the files receive timestamps
from early in 1970.  This bug has been present for a very long time,
but it only began to have an effect when the Unix representation of
the date and time passed 1,000,000,000.  That occurred on 9 September
2001 at 01:46:40 UTC.  Yes, other people had Y2K bugs, but I managed
to produce an S1G bug.

I have fixed the bug and have released a new snapshot of CVSup,
SNAP_16_1d.  I have also created binary packages for FreeBSD-4.x which
can be installed using "pkg_add".  For information about updating your
CVSup installation, look here:
