cvs

cvsnt remote server software version

I'm using cvs command to access a remote repository using pserver. How to find the cvs server version I'm connecting to.

cvs -version gives the version of my client cvs software version. I want the version of cvs server.

Solution

  • The hyphen - is bogus. Running cvs version reports both client and server versions:

    $ cvs version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.51d (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.12.13-MirDebian-28 (client/server)
