No /usr/bin/cvs is GNU CVS: /usr/bin/cvs -v > I noticed http://www.openbsd.org/plus48.html states "Removed OpenCVS > from the build". It means the sources are still there, but aren't build with the whole system. You have to build it yourself with something like: cd /usr/src/bin/cvs make sudo make install Here is the commit mentionning the removal from the build: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/Makefile#rev1.114 Since then the commits on OpenCVS and OpenRCS have been pretty active again, but not yet putted back in the build: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/cvs/ > And OpenCVS.org directs me to > http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/cvs/. > > What's the status? > The default CVS shipped with OpenBSD it's still GNU CVS. So I wouldn't use OpenCVS unless I wanted to test it and/or improve it.
