Edwin Groothuis 51fcfef1ce i[Patch Port] devel/viewcvs (unforbidden)
This patch solves two problems of the actual ViewCVs port:
	1. it is forbidden as it is CSS-vulnerable, ViewCVS's CVS
	contains a patch but a new release was still not created
	by the authors 2. it overwrites the configuration files on
	installation

	To solve problem 1 I "back-ported" the patch 1.117 to
	lib/viewcvs.py
	http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/viewcvs/viewcvs/lib/viewcvs.py#rev1.117
	as the author itself says, it solves the problem:
	http://mailman.lyra.org/pipermail/viewcvs-dev/2002-July/000776.html

	To solve problem 2 I changed the install script to install
	viewcvs.conf.dist directly instead of renaming it to
	viewcvs.conf, leaving it up to the user and specifying it
	in the pkg-message.

If you would like to set up ViewCVS in a usable manner, all
you need to do is modify the configuration file, located at
%%INSTDIR%%/viewcvs.conf, to note where your
CVSROOT is, and then copy the actual CGI (located at
%%INSTDIR%%/cgi/viewcvs.cgi) to your cgi-bin.
Please notice that configuration files are installed as
".dist" and must be copied to their actual names prior to
be edited, e.g.:
$ cd %%INSTDIR%%
$ cp viewcvs.conf.dist viewcvs.conf
$ cp cvsgraph.conf.dist cvsgraph.conf
It's up to yo to check the ".dist" files after upgrades.
