                     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).

                     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>.
