CVS 1.11.22 is the latest STABLE branch release of CVS. CVS 1.12.13a is the latest FEATURE branch release of CVS. It is possible that 1.12.13a may still have bugs in some of the newer features that you may not want to use, although many people are now using cvs 1.12.x releases in production environments. The 1.12.7 release was pretty good and the 1.12.9 release was very stable. There were a few bugs including a possible security vulnerability in zip that is not patched until the 1.12.13a release. As provided, the cvs.exe binary file is a client only and does not support any server operations. You could rebuild from sources in a Cygwin environment if you need client/server and local CVS operations to work. If you need to use Windows for your server and are not able to use Cygwin for some reason, then you may find CVSN (http://www.cvsnt.org/) an interesting choice. CVSNT is a fork of CVS which is also open source and is more tightly integrated with Windows as well as still having working ports to most UNIX and GNU/Linux operating systems. The CVSNT folks and the CVS folks chat enough that our client/server protocols still interoperate when using the :ext:, :extssh: and :pserver: protocols. Other protocols are available for CVSNT which might be of interest to a windows shop. Good luck, -- Mark -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFF3C2gCg7APGsDnFERAldoAJ9rvW5FEGJi4fsWtjhYml1wzEjhAgCffLvd /CMGBFkJEPD1+LC4giW0wMs= =HG3Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ info-cvs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
