18: <h2>Why OpenBSD Developers Use CVS</h2>
19:
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
1.3 ! kstailey 23: the OpenBSD project group. With cvs seventy or so developers can
1.2 kstailey 24: update over 400MB of source code (nearly 60000 files) that
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>.
