CVS on OS X Mavericks Apparently, Apple has removed CVS under the OS X 10.9 Mavericks devtools (and yes, it's really gone). For the uninitiated, CVS is the Concurrent Version System, a tool for keeping files up to date between different machines and users (developers).

I have some legacy projects that still require it (no, I cannot change it to use SVN, much less git).

Where is the best place to get a version that works under OS X Mavericks?
A unix-ish package manager is clearly the way to go. I have moved from fink and Macports to homebrew, which has a recipe for cvs:

brew install cvs


For historical completeness, you formerly had to use the 
 (slightly hard to find) recipe for cvs: brew install homebrew/dupes/cvs.

After only very minimal testing, it seems to work.
