Concurrent Version System

CVS is a version control system. Using it, you can record the history of your source files. It originally used to be a front-end to the older ​Revision Control System when it was created.

Usage

To initialize your personal CVSROOT, you have to ask personnel to add you to the group cvsadmin before you can do anything. Afterwards, you can initialize repositories from your Geidontei session.

If you intend to work locally and publish your changes on the server, those are the possible values for the CVSROOT environment variable

• pServer URI: :pserver:USER@cvs.chaotic.ninja:/cvs/USER (requires cvs login)
• SSH URI: :ext:USER@cvs.chaotic.ninja:/cvs/USER (requires CVS_RSH set to ssh)
