OpenCM is designed as a secure, high-integrity replacement for CVS. A list of
|
||
|
|
the key features can be found on the features page. While not as ``feature
|
||
|
|
rich'' as CVS, it supports some useful things that CVS lacks. Briefly, OpenCM
|
||
|
|
provides first-class support for renames and configuration, cryptographic
|
||
|
|
authentication and access control, and first-class branches.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The OpenCM project was originally started because we needed a secure,
|
||
|
|
high-integrity configuration management system for the EROS project.
|
||
|
|
Alternatives, such as BitKeeper, Subversion, and PerForce, either did not
|
||
|
|
meet our requirements or were not available at the time the work started. We
|
||
|
|
had previously used CVS, but it's absence of real branches and configurations
|
||
|
|
finally drove us to build a better tool.
