Someone with some spare time to work on the cvs 1.12.12 import?

Feature CVS 1.12.12 has been released. Feature releases contain new features
as well as all the bug fixes from the stable releases. This version fixes
many minor security issues in the CVS server executable including a
potentially serious buffer overflow vulnerability with no known exploit.
This release also contains many bug fixes and enhancements, including
efficiency improvements, unique autogenerated commit IDs a la CVSNT, and a
more uniform use of the ":" specification formerly only available via the -j
option.

We recommend this upgrade for all CVS clients and servers already running
the feature release and for those who simply like to stay on the cutting
edge!
