                     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>,

1.13      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
