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

33: CVS also allows easy creation and maintenance of branches so that we
1.11 jason 34: can provide a release + patches source tree and a up to the minute
35: development source tree with parallel development.
36: </p>
37:
1.1 kstailey 38: <p>
1.13 jufi 39: Since CVS interfaces with the Secure Shell (ssh) it can provide reliable
1.1 kstailey 40: user and host authentication. This fits in well with the OpenBSD
41: project's <a href=goals.html>goal of security</a>.
