Hi all!

I also worked a bit on the CVST project. When I was working with it we used Eric Arseneau's SIF code for the interchange format.

As far as I know CVST is live and well for both VW and Squeak (and Dolphin, and VAST and... :-=) - Martin Kobetic recently did some releases, check:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/cvstproj/

CVST is a pure Smalltalk layer that essentially mirrors Smalltalk code out into the filesystem in order for it to be stored in CVS using the normal external cvs executable. AFAIK it works quite good.

I haven't used Göran Hultgren's CVS client for Squeak, so I can't comment on its current status.

Sqcvs is not a full CVS client - it's a class library for Squeak (but easily portable) implementing the CVS client/server ("pserver") protocol. It is not quite ready yet (just a few things missing, it does checkput/update/commit though) but when it is (soon hopefully, might squeeze in time this week) it will slide right in under CVST and eliminate the need for an external CVS executable. Sqcvs knows nada about storing Smalltalk code in CVS - that's what CVST does.

Sqcvs will let us integrate CVS operations in say the FileList or easily build a general CVS client in Squeak. It can also be used if someone would like to use CVS as a "database backend" for some application since it doesn't need to rely on a filesystem.
