It depends on how you want to set it up ... http://www.cvshome.org/new_users.html "Individual developers who want the safety net of a version control system = can run one on their local machines. Development teams, however, need a = central server all members can access to serve as the repository for their = code. In an office, that's no problem -- just stick the repository on a = server on the local network. For open-source projects...well, it's still = no problem, thanks to the Internet. CVS has built-in client-server access = methods so that any developer who can connect to the Internet can access = files on a CVS server."

Do I understand correctly that it stores your project documents on somebody else's server? This gives me the shivers. If I was doing a far-flung = GNU project with a bunch of volunteer programmers this might be a good system = to use. I think I'll stick to revision notes at the beginning of my C source file, that's pretty simple. --Lawrence -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
