That makes zero sense, but let's deal with the issue vs "yet another"
haphazard guess at the cause ...
The problem appears to be that *at some point*, someone renamed the
cvsweb.cgi script:
-r-xr--r-- 1 root wheel 126590 Sep 25 21:36 cvsweb.cgi.not_used
This was *ages* ago though, so am I bit confused as to how it ever worked
...
i just re-installed it and now the URL works again ... I just made two
changes to the cvsweb.conf file itself so that it matches what is
displayed on anoncvs as well (footer and Diff format) ...
Let me know if there are any other issues / changes that need to be made
...
