                     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
1.9     ! angelos    23: the OpenBSD project group.  With CVS, seventy or so developers are able to
1.8       deraadt    24: update the source code (which is over 1349 MB, around 75000 files) that
1.9     ! angelos    25: comprise the OS, ports/packages, and XFree86.  A large number of OpenBSD users
        !            26: can download the OS sources via <a href=anoncvs.html>anonymous CVS</a>,
        !            27: a procedure that is much more reliable than the Software
        !            28: Upgrade Protocol (sup).

                     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>.
