I've been trying to evaluate content management systems with an eye toward whether they can be adapted to version control of code. All code version

control packages currently extant are severly lacking to one degree or another, and it seems from my shallow knowledge that the web content providers are solving the problems the code developers are content to put up with (please observe that CVS is still the cutting edge. Gag.).

Apparently Zope supports object versioning. The Zope page mentions that the staff is about to go through the horror of setting up a public CVS tree. So allow me to ask this question:

IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE ZOPE TO STORE AND SERVE ITS OWN SOURCE?

Storing and serving is trivial.

I'll see if I can stick my foot in my mouth first. Brian or Jim can confirm if it's firmly seated there... The versioning that Zope supports is more related to a transaction model than to version *control* of documents.
