rcsparse @20140224: new submission

[jpo@…]

This is my first python port, so I probably got something wrong.

The upstream release site is down and has been for some time. I tried to contact the maintainer but my email bounced and he didn't reply on IRC, so I'm just grabbing it from his github (which doesn't have any formal releases). I've opened an issue there asking him to merge the patches that have been sitting in a pull request for several months and make a release so I don't need to just grab it by the last git commit hash.

The patches I'm including are from the OpenBSD ports tree, and are required to make it not crash.

rcsparse is a dependency of git-cvs, which I'm submitting now too.

I committed the port in r143000. Can you please check for the modifications I made? First of all I have put the port under py-rcsparse. (The same sources are probably also usable as a ruby subport.)

Next, I modified the commit to take the latest version. I changed the version string from 20140224 to 0.1_20151027. That's because the sources claim they provide version 0.1 and if version 0.2 ever gets released, you wouldn't be able to change to version 0.2 without having to increase the epoch as well. Now this indicates that the version is some "subversion" of 0.1.

Your patches were no longer needed (I hope).

I removed the comment saying that the software is abandoned based on the fact that the author very recently included those patches. But please review everything.

I wanted to enable testing, but I wasn't sure how to do that.
