And with the versioning of the CVS hal package being 0.5.5.1.cvs, it doesn't meet the minimum requirements (0.6.0) for CVS g-p-m. CVS g-p-m otherwise looks like it should be fine to work with the newer hal
Hacked a CVS snap to build with the hal versioning we're exporting and building now
Brilliant, thanks. This should work fine, as CVS == 0.5.6 in my book.
