Re: Is anybody aware of concurrent versioning system in the open source world?

CVS servers can run on most unix variants & clients for Windows NT /95 , OS/2 and VMS . It fills a similar role to the free software RCS, PRCS, and Aegis packages. In addition to such open source softwares , there are also some efficient search platforms coming up in this category. I recently used some search platforms which were quite decent and support CVS integration. You can chk out the below mentioned link: *www.lucidimagination.com/search/?q=concurrent+versioning+system+in+the+open+source+world
