Description-en: Concurrent Versions System
CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep access
to old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of
who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS.
It handles multiple developers, multiple directories, triggers to
enable/log/control various operations, and can work over a wide
area network. The texinfo manual provides further information on
more tasks that it can perform.
.
There are some tasks that are not covered by CVS. They can be done in
conjunction with CVS but will tend to require some script-writing and
software other than CVS. These tasks are bug-tracking, build management
(that is, make and make-like tools), and automated testing. However,
CVS makes these tasks easier.
.
This package contains a CVS binary which can act as both client and
server, although there is no CVS dæmon; to access remote repositories,
please use :extssh: not :pserver: any more.
