It is generally a bad idea to delete or replace any file written by
Apple's installer. Instead, stick the binary someplace "local" like
/usr/local/bin/, /opt/bin, or ~/bin/. Alternatively, use something
like darwinports or fink to install the file while also gaining benefit
of a dependency manager and something that can easily upgrade the
installed binaries.
'cvs' is available via either Fink or darwinports.
As for the security problems in cvs.... you have way bigger security
issues if you are relying upon CVS to provide security. :-)
