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.
