Hi Guys, I think this was already mentioned on the list - but it could be better to focus on subversion (SVN) instead of CVS.
The reason I say this is that having used CVS for about a year and subversion for the last couple of weeks on multiple projects I'm getting to really like subversion. Subversion has been designed from the ground up to be a replacement for CVS and to fix some of it's shortcomings. The main reasons it is both better and simpler: - Ability to move files and directories easily and keep version info - Simpler authentication and security using Apache2 as server - Works over port 80 or port 443 so it's one less firewall port you need open - TortoiseSVN is drop in replacement for TortoiseCVS Regards, Mark On Tue, 2004-03-16 at 13:02, Brett Payne-Rhodes wrote: > Hi Steve, > > That sounds like just what I need and although I'm a potential consumer > with no expertise in CVS, when what you need are CVS gurus, I'd be happy > to contribute to the project if you need someone to do 'legwork'. > > Good luck, and many thanks, > > Brett > B) > > Collins, Steve wrote: > > All > > > > Given the interest here that Geoff's talk has generated, I would be happy to > > collaborate with him on a Macromedia-development focussed CVS HOWTO.
