CVS is the source code control system used to manage the OpenBSD source tree. It is described in more detail here. +Note that CVS and CVSup are entirely different programs. Although +CVS can be used for remote file access, it is not optimized for +wholesale source tree distribution over the net, and CVSup can be +easily an order of magnitude more efficient for this task.
-The latest version of CVSup is available at - -http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/. +Building CVSup from the sources is not for the fainthearted since +it is written in Modula-3. Currently an OpenBSD port of Modula-3 +(lang/pm3) is only available for the i386 platform, and +it is a fairly large package. If you only care about running CVSup, +it is recommended that you download the statically linked cvsup +package from the ftp mirror sites instead of +building your own from the net/cvsup port.
-CVSup is difficult to compile and install because it is written in Modula3. -While there are open source Modula3 environments available, compiling and -installing them is a difficult task (especially for unsupported platforms). -There is a port of Modula3 for i386 architecture only (lang/pm3). -Therefore, CVSup is only currently available for i386. +For further information about CVSup, see the author's +project +homepage.
