Also, git requires only the client functionality, not cvs-inetd itself. So it would be
good to get input from the former xinetd maintainer whether
- xinetd should be retired fro some reason (and cvs should retire the cvs-inetd
subpackage)
- or xinetd should simply be picked up.
Thanks for the clear info about the dependency, btw. It would have been easy to miss
otherwise.
Indeed, thanks Miro and Michael!
_If_ it comes to it, the git package has a conditional for
building without CVS. It's trivial to change the default
for f34+ and avoid the cvs dep.
It seems likely that cvs can drop the inetd subpackage
without much trouble though, so it shouldn't come to that.
