Fixed in CVS.

You don't need to. Once it's in our CVS, in about an hour or so all our webnodes sync up and pick up the changes.

Comment 4 Jake Magee 2009-11-17 19:02:14 UTC

Thanks for the information Josh, I'll be on the look out for the changes.

Also, just as a note to the bug post, here is the documentation on how to check out the CVS and build it:
