CVS

- -

CVS (the - Concurrent Version System) is the tool we use for keeping our sources - under control. Every change (with accompanying log message explaining - its purpose) from FreeBSD 2.0 to the present is stored here. It can be - easily viewed from the web interface mentioned below. To obtain a complete copy - of the FreeBSD CVS repository or any of the development branches inside - it, you may choose any one of following options:

- -

CVSup if you are looking - for on-demand, low overhead access using a custom utility (written in - Modula-3 no less).
anoncvs - if you are looking for on-demand access that has higher overhead than - cvsup (in terms of wall time and bytes transferred) but is easier to use - for checking out small pieces of the tree and requires nothing more - than the cvs tools already bundled with FreeBSD.
CTM if you are looking for - very low overhead, batch-mode access (basically, patches through - email).
The web interface - if you are looking to simply browse the repository in search of a - specific change or file revision.

Mirrors of the CVS web interface are available in - Czech republic, - Denmark, - Japan, - USA/California. -
