[CVSreport] 0.2.4 released : nasty bug, please upgrade !

[Vincent C. <v....@ze...>]

Hello,

  CVSreport 0.2.4 is a bugfix release, get it now :

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cvsreport/cvsreport-0.2.4.tar.gz

It turns out that CVS doesn't collect its child until the end of the
'cvs server' process, leaving some CVS zombies around while CVSreport is
polling for their status. As a result, it hangs your cvs client forever
after the commit is done (and will never generate a report). At least it
didn't prevented you to work :)

I've hadded a is_alive() method which checks process existence _and_
zombie status if alive. There is no real portable way to do this, I'm
using 'ps' which is a little bit more standard than the /proc interface.
I've tested this patch successfully on Linux 2.4 and FreeBSD 4.5. I
might try to do further tests on the boxes of SF's compile farm (Solaris
or Darwin seems good targets to host CVS repositories).
