Well, the normal way to use cvs is with...cvs! You're going to want the cvs package no matter what you use. Once you have that you can set up your own repositories and do everything from the command-line. I do (nearly) all of my CVS through the command-line. -- Justin Patrin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
