So dropping those BR's is not a useful option. The test suite still ran, and the subpackage still got built. However in the test suite the cvsimport tests were skipped: t9600-cvsimport.sh ................................. skipped: skipping cvsimport tests, cvs not found t9601-cvsimport-vendor-branch.sh ................... skipped: skipping cvsimport tests, cvs not found t9602-cvsimport-branches-tags.sh ................... skipped: skipping cvsimport tests, cvs not found t9603-cvsimport-patchsets.sh ....................... skipped: skipping cvsimport tests, cvs not found t9604-cvsimport-timestamps.sh ...................... skipped: skipping cvsimport tests, cvs not found > Either cvs will drop it's dependency on xinetd and this > problem will be moot or it won't and cvs will be removed > from Fedora.
