About:
CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems, CVS does not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at a time, but operates on hierarchical collections of directories consisting of version controlled files. CVS helps to manage releases and to control the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. CVS allows triggers to enable/log/control various operations and works well over a wide area network.
Release focus: Major security fixes
Changes:
This release fixes two security issues with root access and
file system traversal. Furthermore, it includes some fixes
for case sensitivity, symbolic link handling, portability,
and the build process.

CVS is great!
by Ricky Ng-Adam - Aug 1st 2000 15:27:40
A requisite for proper software development... Great and highly
recommended: the learning curve is a bit stiff and the installation can
take awhile but it is worth it. And your developers can still use their
beloved Windows by using WinCVS (www.wincvs.org)

WinCVS no good
by Walles - May 31st 2002 07:10:38
And your developers can still use their beloved
Windows by using WinCVS
(www.wincvs.org)
IMO, WinCVS is really no good. I found it to be more complicated to use
than pure command line CVS (as can be had on Windows using Cygwin). Another Windows
frontend for CVS that I haven't used, but has a good rep is Tortoise CVS. You may want to try
that one before WinCVS.

I somewhat disagree:
- yes, WinCVS is a bit complicated. You still need to know CVS well to be
able to use it. I have tried out a couple of the existing CVS GUIs, and
they all assume you know most of the details of CVS (except to a certain
point Turtoise, as you pointed out). If you thought WinCVS would make CVS
easier, well it doesn't: it's purely a graphical wrapper around CVS.
- BUT I - and certainly many people - find that launching CVS commands
visually is extremely convenient and often way faster than the command
line: WinCVS is *great* for that purpose.
Thx,
Aurélien Géron.

WinCVS makes CVS *harder*
by Walles - Jun 1st 2002 14:47:15
A clarification: As you said, I expected WinCVS to make CVS easier to use.
For me however, WinCVS was not only "not easier" than command line CVS, but
harder.
YMMV of course, and people interested in Windows GUIs for CVS should
definitely try more than one before deciding.

free cvs server
by Scoot - Nov 11th 2003 08:05:19
There is a free cvs server! No need for your project to be open source,
access with any freely available cvs client for any OS( tortoise is
probably the easiest on win )

CVSdude is a great service, but the bummer is - it's confied to 2Mb of web
space (for free). Larger accounts cost money (which of course may very well
be worth it). So this option is only available for relatively small
projects.
Other than that - great service.
