Why don't you just commit the changes even if you don't know yet whether they
build? Especially for a small package where you're the sole maintainer, it
won't really matter if CVS HEAD isn't always buildable.
Well I am not alone maintaining that package and I thought that spamming
comaintainers with "hmm, let's see if _that_ works" commit mails would
not be that nice ;)
But the real reason is that I always try to make sensefull commits only
to a central repo so every revision is a complete buildable version.
This avoids others checking out and getting mad about half made work.
