[gentoo-dev] Masking www-apps/viewcvs in favor of www-apps/viewvc?

[Gunnar Wrobel]

Hi!

We provide both www-apps/viewcvs and www-apps/viewvc in the
tree. ViewCVS is the predecessor of ViewVC and has open security
issues (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189614) so I'd like to
mask it.

But even s.g.o seems to use the older viewcvs (albeit patched) so I
thought I'd ask before I mask the ebuild.

Any comments? Else I'd mask it in a week and issue last rites on it.

Cheers,

Gunnar
