CVS developement links/documentation:

• cvs-info mailinglist archive

  CVS related questions and CVS developement

• CVS handbook

  The reference for CVS useres/administrators! Very good.

• more CVS documentytion. Here are additional informations. very good, but not a requirement to understand CVS

other CVS daemons/setuid wrappers

• cvsd

  Similar idea like cvsauth but still let the authentication be done by cvs pserver and seem to setuid only to one common uid/gid.(if I understood the code correctly)

• nserver

  Similar idea but uses a heavily patched cvs version. cryptic configuration, at least I didn`t make it run. Has PAM support

• cvsauth

  stores one config file in /etc for all repositories on your server, allows different uids for every repository. Handles the authentication by itsself.

• SSL and ACL for CVS

  Directory/file/branch permissions done internally to CVS. An SSL interface for CVS, basically pserver over SSL. Remote administraction capabilities, including the ability for the users to change their own passwords and the ability for administrators to add and remove users.

you need OpenSSL to run the sserver method

• The OpenSSL Project

tools which are usefull

• cvsu

  is a collection of cvs utilities (in perl) it includes a programm which lets you change CVS/Root and CVS/Repository in checked out repositories. (usefull if you move to cvsauth and need to update your user checkouts

hopefully there is soon a CVS replacement
