Running CVS local on Mac OS X

Once you've used version control for development you can't live without it. Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a powerful open-source tool for source code maintenance. CVS is the most popular version control system and is part of the Xcode Tools that accompanies Mac OS X.

I have been using jEdit for developing PHP applications, but the jEdit plug-in GruntSpud was too much hassle. So I switched to Eclipse for my PHP development.

I had some trouble connecting to the CVS server with pserver. Pserver uses an insecure protocol but I thought it would be easier to set up. I was wrong. Connecting with ext ssh works right out of the box.

So now I'm using Eclipse which is much more similar to intelliJ so it should improve productivity.
