This message was sent from: Features http://forums.oscommerce.com/viewtopic.php?p=190813#190813 ---------------------------------------------------------------- For the most part, all that you need to know about CVS is that a snapshot is taken every day which you can obtain from the downloads section (you should have a button for it in the upper left corner of your browser). It installs the same way as a milestone release does. Just FYI, CVS stands for [url=http://www.cvshome.org/]Concurrent Versions System[/url]. Essentially, it allows them to merge (and reverse) separate edits to the same file. In other words, two developers can edit their own local versions of a file and then merge their independent changes together when they upload. If you really want to get complicated, it is possible to use CVS to keep your modified store current as you go. It's worth noting that Harald recommends making the edits manually over doing this. YMMV. Do not start with a production store if you are going to do this. Good luck, Matt
