Is there an official CVS library? And, where would I put it

Rails

Two questions. First, I’m wondering if there’s a library already
written that will enable Ruby to interface with CVS. I did find one
(cvs.m17n.org/~akr/ruby-cvs/) but it’s unclear to me if that is still
maintained. Some download links are broken and it seems to be at
version 0.2. That’s why I ask if there’s an “official” one? Is that
it?

Second, if I want to add a ruby library to my rails application so that
I don’t have to worry if the destination server has it, where do I put
it? Do I just unpack it in /lib? I notice there’s nothing
in /lib for me now so not really sure if I’m understanding it right.

Thanks!

Following up to my own question. I see that “/vendor” is the better
place for external libraries. Also, the ruby-cvs package has its own
/lib directory. So if I copy/link those files into the /vendor area it
appears to work! Now the only question si whether this library is still
maintained, or if there is a better choice out there.
