Configuation Version System. It's a configuration management system,
built on rcs (Revision Control System). You build an archive on your
system
somewhere, and it saves successive versions over time. Basically, the
first
time you add something to the system, it saves the full copy.
Subsequent
versions are saved as diffs from the original; you can go back to any
prior
version easily.
It may be installed on your system already, try typing "which cvs" and
"which rcs" (you need both as cvs is built on rcs). The rpm's are on
your
installation cd, for 6.2 they're "cvs-1.10.7-7" and "rcs-5.7-11". man
cvs
will give you more data, as will a search on the web for CVS.
