25 Description: Concurrent Versions System
26 CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions
27 of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why
28 changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. It handles multiple
29 developers, multiple directories, triggers to enable/log/control
30 various operations, and can work over a wide area network. The
31 following tasks are not included; they can be done in conjunction with
32 CVS but will tend to require some script-writing and software other
33 than CVS: bug-tracking, build management (that is, make and make-like
34 tools), and automated testing.
36 And a whole lot more. See the manual for more information.
38 GNU CVS, with the patches from here applied, is used (in this patched
39 version) heavily by the MirOS Project, internally, and to maintain the
40 MirOS BSD, MirPorts Framework, and other subprojects', as well as
41 hosted projects, such as FWCF, source code and associated other works.
43 This version also contains many patches originating from Debian.
