+CVS
+===
+
+ All changes to the sources are committed to the CVS repository as soon as
+ they're somewhat verified to work. Changes shall be commited as independently
+ as possible so that individual changes can be easier spotted and tracked
+ afterwards.
+
+ Tagging shall be used extensively, and by the time we release new archives we
+ should tag the sources with a name similar to the released version number.

+Test Suite
+==========
+
+ During November 2000, a test suite has evolved. It is placed in its own
+ subdirectory directly off the root in the curl archive tree, and it contains
+ a bunch of scripts and a lot of test case data.
+
+ The main test script is runtests.pl that will invoke the two servers
+ httpserver.pl and ftpserver.pl before all the test cases are performed. The
+ test suite currently only runs on unix-like platforms.
 
+ You'll find a complete description of the test case data files in the README
+ file in the test directory.
