What does CVS mean and what is it?

The Concurrent Versions System (CVS), also known as the Concurrent Versioning System, implements a version control system: it keeps track of all work and all changes in a set of files, typically the implementation of a software project, and allows several (potentially widely separated) developers to collaborate. CVS has become popular in the open-source world. CVS is released under the GNU General Public License.

Thanks for the link, when I did my search I typed "What does CVS mean" and couldn't find anything.

Handy hint: if you're using Google, try typing "define: cvs" in the search window to get a basic definition.

I'd also advise using Subversion over CVS.

So should one use module versions that are CVS or is there a large chance of them being broken?
