The canonic reference is the so-called 'cederqvist' document (named for its author): http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual gets you the links. I just set up a CVS server for MsWin and Linux clients on a Linux host (but didn't set up ssh access yet), and find it the best resource: it is organized for a CVS administrator, and beginning users will need to wade a bit to find their steps laid out concisely. The 'info' package on CVS is derived directly from the 'cederqvist' (automatically generated, I think), and it works a bit better for those users due to its inbuilt indexing (or at least it did for me when I started out). If your users have a comfortable 'info' browser, I would recommend it. There is also good information for users at http://www.wincvs.org - much of it aimed at WinCvs GUI users, but well organized and attractive. GUI's exist for KDE ('Cervisia') and Gnome (don't remember - see the WinCVS home page) desktops - my experience is mostly with command-line use from Linux and MsWin, so if there are FreeBSD tricks to know, I don't. Naturally there's a Tk/Tcl front-end, but I haven't used it. 'emacs' for the hard-core. - John Mills To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
