I maintain a CVS archive (using cvs 1.11.0-1) on a Cygwin 1.3.2 install and use ViewCVS 0.7 to access it. ViewCVS uses python and today I upgraded from python 2.1-1 to 2.1.1-1. However the upgade broke the Age field in ViewCVS. The Age field is the time span between the file's check in and today. The Age field is displayed when you view a CVS directory listing. I looked at the ViewCVS sources and tracked the problem to time.timezone. In 2.1 it returns 18000 but in 2.1.1 it returns 1834228892. Does anybody have any day what might be causing this problem?
Thanks, Ivan Wagner
YES

Cheers
