-<div class="important">
-<h3>Important note</h3>
-
-<p>We recently converted the website content repository from CVS to
-git. This page is here for historical interest only. See our <a
-href="using_git">guide to using git</a> instead. </p>
-</div>
-
-<p>CVS is a program to help manage having multiple people work on
-the same material simultaneously. Every user creates a local copy
-of the main repository. The local copies can be on the same machine,
-or across the world. Users can then modify the local copy as they
-wish and when the modified material is ready, commit the changes
-back to the main repository.</p>
-
-<p>For a read only access it's possible
-to use the <a href="https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/">web
-frontend</a>. There exist also many graphical CVS clients such as
-KDE's <a href="https://packages.debian.org/cervisia">cervisia</a>.
-This document describes the workflow with the command line program
-<code>cvs</code>, other clients provide similar functionality.</p>
-
-<p>CVS will not let you commit a file if the copy in the main
-repository has been modified since your last update. This is
-not normally a problem as you can still update your local copy.
-If the modifications were to different parts than you were working
-on, the changes are silently merged. If the changes affect the same area you
-were working on, you will be warned that there is a conflict
-and you need to edit the file to fix the problem before committing.</p>
-
-<p>In what follows anonymous access will be used as an example. If
-you have access to another account which gives you write permission to
-the repository then you should use that account instead. If you
-are planning on making changes, you should get an account before
-starting as anonymous users cannot commit changes.  See <a
-href="#write-access">the section on write access</a> for more
-information.</p>
-
-<p>To begin using CVS, you must first <code>login</code> to the CVS server</p>
-
-<pre>
-   cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anonscm.debian.org:/cvs/webwml login
-</pre>
-
-<p>(just hit enter for the password here)</p>
-
-<p>To check out a copy of the wml files on your local machine, you need to use</p>
-
-<pre>
-   cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anonscm.debian.org:/cvs/webwml checkout webwml
-</pre>
-
-<p>You can check out a subset of the pages like this:</p>
-
-<pre>
-   cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anonscm.debian.org:/cvs/webwml checkout -l \\
-          webwml webwml/&lt;<var>language</var>&gt;
-   cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anonscm.debian.org:/cvs/webwml checkout \\
-          webwml/Perl webwml/english/template webwml/&lt;<var>language</var>&gt;/Pics
-   cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@anonscm.debian.org:/cvs/webwml checkout \\
-          webwml/&lt;<var>language</var>&gt;/&lt;<var>path to desired files</var>&gt;
-</pre>
-
-<p>Repeat for all subdirectories or files that you want. The second line
-includes all the files you will need if you wish to create HTML from the WML
-files. Partial checkouts such as these aren't really supported, though, so
-the above instructions may not always work.</p>
-
-<p>
-For write access to the repository over SSH you may need to tell CVS to
-use SSH instead of rsh for logging in by adding a line to your shell config:
-</p>
-
-<pre>
-   export CVS_RSH=ssh
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-If you have an Alioth account, with an associated <a
-href="https://alioth.debian.org/account/editsshkeys.php">\
-public SSH key</a>, you can use it instead like this:
-</p>
-
-<pre>
-   cvs -d :ext:username@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/webwml checkout webwml/english/doc
-</pre>
-
-<p>From then on, you will not need to use the <code>'-d :ext:...'</code>
-part. Every few days you will want to do a</p>
-
-<pre>
-   cvs update -d
-</pre>
-
-<p>to retrieve any files from the repository which have changed.  The
-<code>-d</code> update option will add any new directories, automatically.
-It will also check out all the directories that were omitted if you performed a
-partial checkout &mdash; in that case you might want to use the
-<code>cvsup.py</code> script.</p>
-
-<p>
-You may want to create a <code>~/.cvsrc</code> file so that you don't have
-to type some options all the time. For example, it can contain:</p>
-
-<pre>
-cvs -z9
-update -d -P
-diff -u
-</pre>
-
-<p>The following is for those who have write permission on the repository.
-When you are done with a page, you can commit your changes to the repository using</p>
-
-<pre>
-   cvs commit &lt;file&gt;.wml
-</pre>
-
-<p>or</p>
-
-<pre>
-   cvs commit &lt;dir&gt;    (to commit all the changes in &lt;dir&gt;)
-</pre>
-
-<p>or</p>
-
-<pre>
-   cvs commit          (to commit all changes from the current dir down)
-</pre>
-
-<p>If you are the first person translating a page, you need to do</p>
-
-<pre>
-   cvs add &lt;file&gt;.wml
-</pre>
-
-<p>before you commit it. Note that <code>cvs add</code> is not recursive so
-you need to add a directory before you can add its contents.</p>
-
-<p>For more information on CVS, use <code>info cvs</code>.</p>
-
-<p>
-If you include <code>Closes: #</code><var>nnnnnn</var> in your commit log
-entry then bug number <code>#</code><var>nnnnnn</var> will be closed
-automatically when you commit. The precise form of this is the same as
-<a href="$(DOC)/debian-policy/ch-source.html#id24">in Debian policy</a>.</p>
-
-<p>
-Many Debian websites support SSL, please use HTTPS links for the
-ones that do support SSL.
-Some Debian/DebConf/SPI/etc websites do not have HTTPS support or are
-only signed by SPI and not by any SSL CA that is trusted by browsers
-outside of Debian, we should avoid linking to https: versions of
-these websites so that people not using Debian don't get errors
-they may not understand.
-The CVS repository will reject commits containing plain HTTP links for
-Debian websites that support HTTPS or containing HTTPS links for the
-Debian/DebConf/SPI websites that are known to either not
-support HTTPS or use certificates signed only by SPI.</p>

-If you already know <a href="$(DEVEL)/website/desc#help">how to help</a>, and
-have provided enough patches that have been accepted by the web team or a

-Please write something useful in your request, like which language or which
-part of the website you plan to work on, and who would vouch for you.
