Re: TODO for 2.6.1

[Jason L Tibbitts III]

Did I mention how much I dislike CVS?  We really need to have a
discussion about moving to git.

But for now, I searched and I found what I think is a lock sitting in
that directory from January of 2008.  I would think that a three year
old stale lock file would have caused problems long before now, but I
guess nobody has tried to commit in that directory since 2003 or so.

Please let me know if this issue persists.  I've looked for other
similar lockfiles throughout the tree but didn't find any.

[PATCH] Fix broken Perl version dependency in fvwm-menu-desktop

[Sergey Vlasov]

use version '5.0008' does not do what was intended - the proper form
for Perl version dependency is use 5.008.  The broken statement does
not do anything useful and breaks packaging at least in ALT Linux
(use statements in perl scripts are translated to RPM dependencies,
therefore the package gets an unresolvable dependency on a nonexistent
version of the version.pm module).

Thank you, but I've already fixed this with a runtime check for XML::Parser.
