Read in Configuration Management FAQ : "CVS, which requires RCS, extends RCS to control concurrent editing of sources by several users working on releases built from a hierarchical set of directories. "RCS is [analogous to using] assembly language, while CVS is [like using] Pascal", according to the author."

If you want to mirror some of my stuff, you can download all my scripts and html pages generated with them.

The Reference Manual . Currently this is the release 0.9 of the manual. You can download here the postcript. I think that paper on Parallelizing Software Development is very interesting too.

The Tutorial . Similarly, take a look at the CVS tutorial for a beginner's example (here is Postcript version).

Slides of local technical journey (in French). For frog-lovers, I wrote a small introduction to CVS in French. Here are the slides of the technical journey(17/01/94). Here is the postcript version.

CVS FAQ. I wrote a script to generate an HTML version of CVS FAQ 2.8 (html). But you can also read a local copy of CVS FAQ 2.8 (text). Access is fast but it's not always up to date. So you can access the real full-sized CVS FAQ.

FTP sites. CVS is distributed under a GNU licence and can be obtained via a lot of FTP sites. I note these two sites : prep.ai.mit.edu is for official release (currently 1.3) but you can find also unofficial release 1.4* of CVS.

Other WWW stuff on CVS. David d `zoo' zuhn maintain a WWW Page on CVS at http://www.winternet.com/~zoo/cvs/. There is another WWW Page on CVS at http://www.delos.com/cvs/ .You can also join the cvs-mailing list. Please note that you must send mail to info-cvs-request@prep.ai.mit.edu with that text to unsubscribe : unsubscribe info-cvs "your-email-address-here"

Related Software. You find here related CVS software.

If you are interested in software configuration management, you probably know that CVS is not the only product you can use (it's just my favourite). There are lots of products which cover more or fewer aspects of Configuration Management.
