We have just released an update to the preview of CVS Suite 2009 Trial
Edition for Windows to improve support for Windows 7/Vista and Windows
2008/R2 when installed or running as a non-Administrative user (a person
who is not a member of Administrators or Domain Admins groups). Other
downloads are available for Mac OS X Intel, Red Hat Linux x86 and SuSE
Linux x64. CVS Suite 2009 is based on the 2.8.01 codeline (Soolin).

* Multi-Site unison synchronisation
* Visual Studio Integration (SCCI)
* CVS Suite Studio - Graphical CVS Client
* Release Manager

This is a major upgrade to CVS Suite Server and we now have trial

and Windows with more platforms coming in the next few weeks - including
Debian Lenny i386.
The trial installation guide for linux/unix is not available yet - but

$ sudo rpm -e cvs
$ sudo rpm --nodeps -i cvsnt-2.8.01.3759-1.i386.rpm
cvsnt-suite-triggers-2.8.01.3759-1.i386.rpm
$ sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add cvslockd
$ sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add cvsmanager
$ sudo /etc/init.d/cvslockd start
$ sudo /etc/init.d/cvsmanager start
Note: CVS Suite 2009 is still undergoing regression testing and so a
recommended customer release will not be available for a few more days
(or longer if we find problems).
