I ask because I maintain a number of local CVS repositories of code for which I am the only developer/maintainer. I also use grep on the repositories to find sections of code previously created and removed for future use. I can't bill my clients for conversion to SVN so that cost I would have to eat. I am not particularly thrilled about having to do so. I don't need most of the CVS features. About all I do is check in. Occasionally I botch up a module enough that I delete it and recover it from CVS. I don't use branches or tags. > Not sure I understand your question, you will be able to continue to use CVS from ports if you need the CVS binary. If you want FreeBSD to continue to export the FreeBSD project code in CVS form, that may be over or ending soon. -Alfred
