Ok, that's true :-(

Here the organization:

openca-0.(8|9) are full snapshots. The missing modules are a bug!

openca/ are all the cgi-bin/, htdocs/ etc.
openca-... are the modules

So the actual state of the CVs is the following:

openca-0.8 - full featured OpenCA 0.8
openca-0.9 - full featured OpenCA 0.9
openca/ - actually completely outdated
openca-xyz - perl module OpenCA::XYZ
openca-ocsp(|d) - ocsp-code

My mistake I use "cvs import" to import openca-0.8 into openca-0.9.
After the first commit you have the normal numbers (1.2, 1.3, ...)again.
CVS saves the original imported code in a so called vendorbranch 1.1.1.
