Install CVS on Mac OSX
July 15, 2007
CVS is the system that Drupal.org uses to maintain all of the code used for both core and contributed modules. If you want to be involved with development, either coding or testing, CVS is a must-have in your tool box.
This video will walk you through the steps for installing the CVS command line client on your Mac OS X computer using the free Apple XCode Tools package. It shows you how to find the package you need, install it and verify the installation.
While this video is for Mac only, the plan is to create similar videos for other operating systems as well. Stay tuned!

Hello,
I just wanted to say thanks for this very informative and helpful video. It was right on and answered all the questions that I had when trying to install CVS.

Thanks for so quickly finding the lost video.
ok, now what?
ok, so the video was good if you haven't found it before the mac site but im not sure as to how to really interface with it or use it. I do realize that the title was Install cvs, i guess i was hoping for more info on how to use it.
A few more
There are several videos in the Development How To section of drupal.org's videos that show some CVS and patch command use.
It really depends on what you need to do with CVS. Most people in the Drupal community use it to get Drupal core and contrib projects. The vid on Checkout Drupal HEAD from CVS shows how to get the development version of Drupal core.
Danke! from a Mac newbie
Really helped, even though Xtools 3.1 is slightly different, and I had to go into packages sub-folder and install each of the DeveloperTools packages seperately:
DeveloperTools.pkg
DeveloperToolsSystemSupport.pkg
DeveloperToolsCLI.pkg
Many thanks!
Excellent
Had just spent an hour trying to work out how to install CVS on my Mac (I am very dumb sometimes) and then your excellent video explains that I had it there already.
Saved me several more wasted hours.
A thousand blessings to you and everyone at Drupal for helping a fool back onto the right path.
Great video/audio work too BTW.
Am off to explore the rest of the Drupal vids to see what other gems you have there.
