Hi,
My work team uses CVS to software development but now other multimedia
group needs a tool to coordinate their work. We consider use CVS as a
temporary storage for shared large files. Then, after some period in
project life cycle, finished parts will be moved to storage like streamer
tapes.
I know that CVS is not designed to hold binary files - so maybe there
is more convinient tool for doing this.
Now here is only one problem - CVS client before sending file/files to
CVS server loads it/them into memory. This is dangerous especially for
large files. On workstation it causes state of low virtual memory up to
force OS to permanently frozen state.
I suppose that this loading into memory is needed by zlib compression
library used by CVS. But if I decide not to use any compression is there
any way to change this behavior? Maybe some changes in source code? I did
an inspection of cvs source code, but it is too big and too mixed for me to
do that.
Any suggestions?
Andy.
