Because we have thousands of lines of changes to CVS that need careful
merging. We generally apply the security patches instead unless there
has been a compelling feature we need.

As others have pointed out, FreeBSD isn't really a Mac OS X support site.

However,

I have to say that this is a very strange question. I suspect
that you actually wanted to ask some different question, so go
ahead and have another try (privately, perhaps, if you don't
want to annoy the FreeBSD-arch list again).

It's strange because (a) Mac OS X has cvs installed out of
the box, in /usr/bin/cvs. It's version 1.11.20, wich is a
good bit *more* recent than the version 1.11.17 that FreeBSD
is still using (why? incompatabilities with developers' pet
scripts?) and (b) ten seconds of googling shows that Frogbugz
is commercial software that supports Mac OS X (according to
the system requirements web page). (There also seems to be a
FreeBSD version, so I guess that the question isn't so totally
out there...)

So: what was it, exactly, that you were hoping the FreeBSD
community might be able to do for you?

Cheers,

Although Mac OS X shares some code with FreeBSD, they are very different
operating systems. You'll need to ask in a forum specifically dedicated
to OS X.
