CVS is really a "must". 
How may Opensource  Developers like I and our team contribute ?
How we may be able to keep track on the others of the team ?
Sending Patches over the  ML is not very effective.
How are we notified upon changes ?
Right now, is a new Sopurce released. (V7.3.18) It's VERY ugly to have to 
download all new again.... and again ... and again. This is definitely 
anti-productive.

I suggest immediately to change over to CVS, it take one hour of time to 
do so. 

I did it as a example on saturday, downing and creating a CVS repository 
with anonyous and named write access and eMail notify to write members 
took me on hour.
I established a Website: http://sapdb.automatix.de
and ther is a test-CVS Repository for SAP-DB also.

You may test this try on:
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/fileserver/cvs login
Password: cvs
cvs -z4 -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/fileserver/cvs co \ 
sapdb

Within that dir sapdb/ exist "DevTool", "V73.00.17", "jdbc", 
"htmldocs-7.3" and my contributed "examples".
My little example is a small common opensourced Makefile-ed/cpc 
test-prg which just connect to a SAP-DB and then disconnect and exits.

What's that, closed source ?

This sounds really anti-productive.
We have some problems whith the cpc precompiler in Linux (See the Message 
in the List). So we will do nearly imediately changes in the cpc Sources.

less so.

That's sounds not good, because it points IMHO in the relly wrong 
direction.
