                     20: <p>
                     21: The Concurrent Version System (CVS) maintained by <a
                     22: href=http://www.cyclic.com>Cyclic Software</a> was selected for use by
                     23: the OpenBSD project group.  With it seventy or so developers can

1.1       kstailey   25: comprise the OS and its GUI.  Countless OpenBSD users can download the
                     26: OS sources via <a href=http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html>anonymous
                     27: CVS</a>, a procedure that is much more reliable than using Software
                     28: Upgrade Protocol (sup) which certain other systems insist on using.
                     29: <p>
                     30: Since CVS interfaces with the Secure SHell (ssh) it can provide reliable
                     31: user and host authentication.  This fits in well with the OpenBSD
                     32: project's <a href=goals.html>goal of security</a>.
