This bug has been filed in Debian's bug tracking system. I have
verified that the CVS/Entries is indeed not being updated. I
have also verified that the problem persists in CVS 1.11.1p1.
Package: cvs
Version: 1.11-1
Severity: normal
I've been using cvswrapper rules that tend to do the right thing in
setting the substitution mode to -kkv for normal source files and -kb
for binaries (or anything not explicitly recognized. This was helpful
on a project where there were lots of binaries being added to CVS.
(Not my choice.)
Anyway, sometimes I find that a file should be -kkv that is not
explicitly defined in the cvswrappers dataase. This means that
keyword substitution is disabled. It ought to be the case that
cvs admin -kkv <file>
will reenable keyword substitution. But, it doesn't work. I noticed
that the comment string, too, was funky, so I changed it back to
likely value. No dice. It appears that the problem is that the above
command doesn't fix the sticky options in CVS/Entries where the -kb
flag is set.
It is very likely that this is an upstream problem. I'm reporting it
here because I though this worked properly in 1.10. When I look at it
now, it seems unlikely that it did.
