I have followed parts of the very long thread "GIT & SVN" and found it informative and partly amusing too... Since I am still on CVS it really was getting me to think about new version control systems and especially GIT since Graeme is pushing so hard for it.
Background: ----------- I have a small company where the engineering team is myself (not so much anymore) and two engineers doing software and electronics. We are making embedded systems and PC (Windows) based processing software. Back in 2002 in order to safeguard against various catastrophies I put in place a CVS *server* on our network for managing the versions of our code and also our CAD drawings and documentation etc. So a lot of the files in CVS are binary. The instructions and firmware image files for our production people are also on our CVS. The CVS backend is an old CVSNT release on a Windows Server 2003 and we use the same cvsnt as client but via the WinCVS GUI front-end. Problems to solve: ------------------ - We need to get a system that is supported today and preferably on a platform that will not be obsoleted like the Windows versions are. - Since we are also now doing development in Linux (for Raspberry Pi using FPC) we need something running on Linux (for the clients). - Generally I don't want us to be ancient tool-wise, but at the same time we have such a huge amount of information invested into the CVS repository. So I need the end soultion to hve some functionality like the CVS system we use today. And a possibility to import the CVS stuff. Testing -------- So I thought that one way to go forward was for me to use an RPi3 box as a repository server with GIT or whatever (seems like the CVS successor SVN is now also on the decline...). Is there a good way to set up an RPi3 box as a GIT server and get going with that? Can GIT work in a way that would be comparable to CVS regarding concurrent development etc? Any suggestions on where to start? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
