I tried to check in the chnge below,
with log entry
* maintain.texi (License Notices for Other Files):
Explain how and when to use CC0.
and it failed with this error message:
1745951582 WARNING torsocks[5837]: [syscall] Unsupported syscall number 318.
Denying the call (in tsocks_syscall() at syscall.c:551)
r...@cvs.savannah.gnu.org: Permission denied (publickey).
cvs [commit aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)
I wonder if a change in Savanne has broken torsocks.
