it is a version control system. it allows several people to work on one project and fairly easily keep up with everyone elses changes. the article i cited from gimp.org was written for several reasons, one of them being that we were not giving patches after each release and this was a very good alternative. for people who download the sources and build their own software and do this without a very good internet connection patches or this cvs updating is very desirable. primarily, it enables large projects, like TheGIMP to have several people working on the same code at the same time. if you start to imagine the problems this would create, you might begin to imagine what cvs does and how it works as it is a good solution. and please forgive me and the author of the text found on the gimps web site. we both had been working with gnu software for so long, neither one of us thought about explaining what cvs is in that document. carol ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
