View source for CVS loader (internship)

'''Context''': [https://www.softwareheritage.org/ Software Heritage] is an
ambitious research project whose goal is to collect, preserve in the very long
term, and share the whole publicly accessible Free/Open Source Software
(FOSS) in source code form.

'''Description''': The Software Heritage archive currently contains source code
coming from popular Version Control System (VCS) repositories publicly available
on the Internet, such as Git, Subversion, and Mercurial.
We want to extend the archive coverage to source code available from historically
relevant VCS, and in particular
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_Versions_System CVS] (Concurrent
Versions System).
The goal of this internship is to develop an automated "loader" that can be used
to ingest into the archive source code available from CVS repositories.

'''Desirable skills''' to obtain this internship:
* familiarity with the Version Control Systems (VCS)
* Python development
* working knowledge of PostgreSQL would be a plus

'''Workplace''': [https://www.inria.fr/en/centre-inria-de-paris Inria Paris]

'''Environment''': you will work shoulder to shoulder with all members of the
[https://www.softwareheritage.org/people/ Software Heritage team], and you will
have a chance to witness from within the construction of the great library of
source code.
