It is related to both. 
 
Conceptually, I would see the following. There would be a CVS resolve. The 
resolver would take the necessary credentials + the project name for the cvs 
repo. When I execute a resolve, it would make a call to CVS to retrieve each 
dependency artifact, then download it to the cache. I know this is possible as 
there are cvs web viewers out there that allow HTTP access to download from a 
project. For those with permissions to write to CVS, there would also be part 
of a script that would retrieve the dependencies from a user cache to somewhere 
on the user's file system, then execute an install from the file system to the 
cvs resolver. This part I am not sure could be done. Ill have to look more at 
how CVS and ssh could provide this.

Michael,

We have written a repository resolver that pulls data out of the build
system (which acts as a repository) and it severed us well.

Is your question cvs- or resolver- related?
