cvs2svn v2.40 is a python app that can convert cvs repos to a number of formats.

While attempting to use cvs2svn to convert a cvs repo to git, I discovered our python port does not handle pipe output properly.

The visible symptom is that the git repo is structured correctly, but all the files are empty because the piped output of the cvs commands is lost.

cvs2svn is avaiable at ​​http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/files/documents/1462/49237/cvs2svn-2.4.0.tar.gz

A simple testcase (testcase.py) is attached to this ticket. The testcase requires a cvs2svn installation, but uses on one cvs2svn function which could be moved into the testcase.

The expected output is the data variable contains the command output. The current behavior is that the data variable remains empty.

It tuns out that many packages now depend on the /@unixroot/bin/sh file (i.e. have it among their requirements). This is a virtual dependency since this file doesn't even exist. Instead, it is virtually provided by the ash package.

Since it's a non-existent file, this dependency in the given form looks very strange. Perhaps it is a deviation of the common /bin/sh dependency found in many linux packages but this still doesn't make it sane. If we want a virtual dependency, it's better to stick with sh instead as it doesn't create any path confusion.

pthread-devel should depend on pthread. In the current spec file this is not the case.
