Takes some dedication to still be using CVS. Do they use another version control system to feed into CVS, or is CVS the tool they use directly?


They are working on a git replacement, got (Game Of Trees): http://gameoftrees.org/

So it looks like they are going to move on from CVS eventually.


They're working on GoT (game of trees), an OpenBSD-born client that interoperates with git repositories.

AFAIK, they still interface with CVS directly, but I assume the expectation is to eventually transition to got.

There is a git mirror of the repo, and some devs use that for their own work. The project itself uses CVS for formal change commits.


IIRC they pass around patches on email before committing to CVS. That workflow affords a bit more flexibility.
