Subject: older version of cvs in Cygwin?

In Cygwin's supplied cvs package:

$ cvs --version 

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.23 (client/server)


Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 

[..]

This seems to be an older version of cvs, and SourceForge's cvs server won't always interoperate with it to do e.g. the cvs remove command. Choices to install are 1.11.23-2 and the older 1.11.22-1.

Later versions of cvs don't have this problem. Oddly, the later versions of cvs I have access to on other systems have a later version number but an earlier copyright year... 2005 vs 2006.

(ubuntu linux)
lloyd AT lloyd-ubuntu-14-64:~$ cvs --version 

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13-MirDebian-11 (client/server)


Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.


(mac os x snow leopard)
$ cvs --version 

Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13 (client/server)

Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.


Can the cvs package in cygwin be updated?

thanks
