Oh, i see, i admit i could have done some more research first.

I was searching via synaptic and didnt find it because i excluded 
at-rpms because it has issues that have been discussed here lately. 
Somehow i was convinced that something like cvsd would be found in 
virtually every repo, including the official fedora repo. Which is not 
the case. The reason for that could be the fact that there are more 
modern versioning systems with the intend to replace cvsd.

Is it generally ok to ask such stupid questions here?
Maybe i could use a place to ask questions of a much more simple kind. 
(like what do i have to type to mount smb share for example)
Is there something like a 'beginners' mailing list?
