Right.  Any problems with cvsweb won't be affecting us.

If if we were using it then glad to have you helping to look out for us! :-)

Ah sorry savannah is not using cvsweb, so I should probably bugreport to Debian instead.

Hi,

Savannah uses cvsweb to show cvs websites.

In 2014 FreeBSD stopped maintaining cvsweb[1] and warned that "There may be unpatched security issues with [cvsweb]".

Distributions like Trisquel still assume that it's maintained by FreeBSD as they point to the cvsweb page on the FreeBSD website[2][3], but that page was also removed few years ago[4][5].
