Package: viewvc
Version: 1.0.5-0.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear David et al.,

Thank you for packaging ViewVC!  Could you possibly update this
package to the latest released version, 1.0.7?  This version fixes
CVE-2008-4325, as mentioned in this bug report.

I have already created a Debian patch that will do this for you, and
am successfully using it on my machine at www.zap.org.au.  The patch
also incorporates the two NMUs since the last "official" release:
1.0.5-0.1 and 1.0.5-0.2.

Please apply this patch (or your own variant); alternatively, could
someone with Debian developer privileges do an appropriate NMU?

Actually, all that really needs to be done for this version is:

* Unpack the original sources for viewvc 1.0.7
* Apply the NMU patch for 1.0.5-0.2 using patch as appropriate
* Add an entry to debian/changelog to indicate the new version

Yours truly,

John Zaitseff
