10<para>CVS is the concurrent versioning system. This is useful for
11projects on which multiple people are working or where archives of
12previous versions of files need to be kept.</para>

14<para>The <filename>cvs-&cvs-version;-zlib.patch</filename> patch is used to
15compile CVS dynamically against zlib instead of using the version included
16with the CVS source. This has the advantage that if (or when) there is
17a security vulnerability found in zlib, you don't need to wait for a new
18version of CVS to appear as once you have upgraded zlib, the problem will be
19fixed. You can download the cvs patch at <ulink url="&hfile-root;"/>.</para>
