1.15 ian 23: <a href="http://www.cvshome.org/">The Concurrent Version System (CVS)</a>
24: was selected for use by the OpenBSD project group.
25: With CVS, seventy or so developers are able to
1.8 deraadt 26: update the source code (which is over 1349 MB, around 75000 files) that
1.21 ! matthieu 27: comprise the OS, <a href="ports.html">ports/packages</a>, and the X
! 28: Window System.
1.18 nick 29: A large number of OpenBSD users
30: then download the OS sources via <a href="anoncvs.html">anonymous CVS</a>,
1.9 angelos 31: a procedure that is much more reliable than the Software

1.20 xsa 33: (<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sup&sektion=1">sup(1)</a>).

36: CVS also allows easy creation and maintenance of branches so that we
1.18 nick 37: can provide a release + patches source tree and an up to the minute

1.18 nick 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>.
