Hi,

Could anyone please tell me the differece between CVS and SDM?

I was trying to upload my work onto CVS today, but the source
repository on the openacs.org website for my module (calendar) was not
updated. Does anyone know why?

CVS is the source management system we (and most open source projects)
use.  The SDM is an ACS package that provides other services, most notably logging of bugs and the like.

The CVS browser in the SDM works off a nightly snapshot of the CVS tree.  Doing a "cvs update" of that tree each time a user requests a file could potentially heavily load down the server.

So your changes should show up it the SDM's cvs browser within a day after you commit your changes.  Of course we've just moved servers and it is also possible that the snapshot's not being made...
