18: <h2>Why OpenBSD Developers Use CVS</h2>
19:
20: <p>
21: The Concurrent Version System (CVS) maintained by <a
1.10 kstailey 22: href="http://www.cyclic.com">Cyclic Software</a> was selected for use by
1.9 angelos 23: the OpenBSD project group. With CVS, seventy or so developers are able to
1.8 deraadt 24: update the source code (which is over 1349 MB, around 75000 files) that
1.9 angelos 25: comprise the OS, ports/packages, and XFree86. A large number of OpenBSD users
26: can download the OS sources via <a href=anoncvs.html>anonymous CVS</a>,
27: a procedure that is much more reliable than the Software
28: Upgrade Protocol (sup).

1.12 ! jufi 31: <p> CVS also allows easy creation and maintenance of branches so that we
1.11 jason 32: can provide a release + patches source tree and a up to the minute
33: development source tree with parallel development.

37: Since CVS interfaces with the Secure SHell (ssh) it can provide reliable
38: user and host authentication. This fits in well with the OpenBSD
39: project's <a href=goals.html>goal of security</a>.
