Welcome to Ximbiot - CVS Wiki.

This site is intended to store CVS usage information in a community edited and reviewed manner.

Please be aware that anything you contribute will be released under the GNU Free Documentation License and, in some cases, also under the GNU General Public License. Please do not contribute materials you do not own the copyright for or that are not already in the public domain, and please be sure to read the disclaimers.

CVS Downloads

CVS sources and binaries may be downloaded from the non-gnu/cvs directory of the GNU FTP mirrors or, if you prefer, go directly to the CVS FTP site. If you would like to contribute a binary that is not yet available for download from the GNU FTP mirrors, please forward links to bug-cvs@nongnu.org for mirroring!

Other CVS related software can be found at the following links:

• CVS Clients

CVS Documentation

Visit a wikied version of the development version of the Cederqvist (CVS Manual): CVS--Concurrent Versions System v1.12.12.1. I will be attempting to merge changes to this source back into the distributed manual by hand. In time I hope to automate this two-way interface by converting the wiki to handle texinfo source and make the wiki source double as the source for the distributed manual. I already have the texinfo -> mediawiki converter. It should be distributed with the next release of Texi2HTML.

I've also imported the CVS FAQ into this Wiki.

There is an archive of www.cvshome.org, but if you find anything useful in it that isn't yet in this Wiki and you have the time, please import it into this Wiki so that it can be kept up-to-date.

Some other starting points:

• CVS Books
• CVS Links

CVS Discussion

The Ximbiot - CVS Wiki:Community Portal lists various ways to contact and get involved with the CVS Community, whether you need help or want to help!

CVS Development

Visit the CVS Project on savannah.nongnu.org. I have added a page for Design Proposals. The wiki format is a little more conducive to a readable design than the nonlinear bug & patch trackers.
