Hello,
I've installed CVS on my laptop, and there it works fine (both client and server app).
It makes more sense (for a multy user project) to run it on a server.
Does exist any implenetation in php or pearl, or can i use another implentation on a normal server (Vserver, normal hosting)?
What's when i have my own server (OS: unix or kind of)?
Maybe this question looks not very sophisticated, but i never used this kind of programm before, and i realised: It's SO useful!

CVS on a webserver?

You would need to install the CVS server app onto the machine.
There is no reason why you can't install an HTTP server (like Apache) and a CVS server on the same machine.
There are CVS binaries available for most OSs.
You will not be able to install and run a CVS server on a virtual hosting account.
There are Perl (and presumably PHP) apps which can connect to and query a CVS server but AFAIK there is no PHP or Perl alternative to CVS. I do remember seeing (some time ago) a PHP app which attempted to replicate basic CVS functionality but I can't remember what it was called.

I think this one has great potential: http://subversion.tigris.org/
If you already run Apache, FreeBSD's Web CVS (http://www.freebsd.org/projects/cvsweb.html) offers a great web-based CVS solution, which I use. However, it's written in CGI, not PHP.
