Dear CVS people,
maybe you�ve heard about the lack of computer proffesionals in Germany
and the efforts of the government and the industry to promote new ways
of education to fill the gap. I am one of the lucky ones who hasbeen
given the chance to make a living out of my hobby and i�ts only afew
months until I will pass my final exams. One part of the final exam is
to present a computer-/software-/whatever-techie-related project to a
group of professors and business people. Therefore I am forced tothink
of a project to deal with. As I heard a presentation on CVS at the
LinuxTag in Stuttgart a few weeks ago, I am more and more convinced that
I want to deal with that exact topic. My plan is now to set up a CVS
based system to organize an upcoming software project (with Linux) to be
later used by a group of maybe 3 to 5 programmers (which includes myself
- if I pass the exam ;-). As I read the manuals and the available
documentation on CVS I got the impression that setting up CVS might be a
bit tricky, although using it seems quite easy. At this point of time I
have no idea what amount of time this project might take (I am supposed
to work 35-70 hours on it), or what extensions might be added to CVS to
fulfill the task of providing the infrastructure to manage a large
software project. Any suggestions, experiences welcome!
Michel
