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
1.18 ! nick 26: comprise the OS, <a href="ports.html">ports/packages</a>, and XFree86.
! 27: A large number of OpenBSD users
! 28: then download the OS sources via <a href="anoncvs.html">anonymous CVS</a>,
1.9 angelos 29: a procedure that is much more reliable than the Software
1.18 ! nick 30: Upgrade Protocol
! 31: (<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sup&sektion=1">sup</a>).

35: CVS also allows easy creation and maintenance of branches so that we
1.18 ! nick 36: can provide a release + patches source tree and an up to the minute
1.11 jason 37: development source tree with parallel development.
1.18 ! nick 38: With <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb">CVSWeb</a>, a convenient
! 39: and navigable web accessible interface to all of this is available as well.
1.11 jason 40: </p>
41:
1.1 kstailey 42: <p>
1.18 ! nick 43: Since CVS interfaces with the Secure Shell
! 44: (<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh</a>)
! 45: it can provide reliable
1.1 kstailey 46: user and host authentication. This fits in well with the OpenBSD
1.18 ! nick 47: project's <a href="goals.html">goal of security</a>.
