Cyclic CVSviaFTP page

Cyclic CVSviaFTP page

The purpose of CVSviaFTP is to automatically publish a new version of a set of files to an FTP server when you check them in to CVS. The most common use would be to publish the new contents of a web page to a web hosting service.

Mailing lists and newsgroups

The most appropriate mailing list is info-cvs which also covers CVS itself in addition to CVSviaFTP. To subscribe send mail to info-cvs-request@gnu.org. Traffic has been something like 5-10 messages per day.

The newsgroup for CVSviaFTP (and other version control systems) is comp.software.config-mgmt.
