is there a place I can get just the cvs executable for OSX as a standalone binary?

I don't want to go through the whole rigamarole of having to download XCode just to get cvs, which I don't use, except the source for flickrj is only published via a cvs repository.

Not sure what happened to the other posts:

Version Control with CVS on Mac OSX
Xcode is on the DVD that came with your mac.

Boot into a partition with Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard) installed.

Insert the Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard) Install DVD.

Double-click the file XcodeTools.mpkg, located inside the directory Optional Installs/Xcode Tools.

They must have restored a backup or something. It had two very different answers when I last checked. However +1 for an answer better than the ones I read in the last revision :-)

You could install Fink http://www.finkproject.org/download/index.php?phpLang=en then use Fink to install CVS for you, this would be the easiest way.

Alternatively, you could try a BSD binary from from the CVS project website, that might work. The CVS project is now at nongnu.org/cvs/

Macports would be another popular alternative. No heavy lifting involved.

sudo port install cvs

From http://www.macports.org/install.php : "Please note that in order to install and run MacPorts on Mac OS X, your system must have installations of the following components: Apple's Xcode Developer Tools..." so it would seem that some heavy lifting is still involved.
