Well, I'd actually modify that slightly: If you're a Windows-only shop and do not know how, or do not want, to maintain a Linux system, then use CVSNT.
We're a Windows-only shop (well, OK, Windows and vxWorks, but that doesn't really count 'cause it can't be used as a CVS server ;-) but our CVS server is running on a UNIX box. We recently reviewed our version management strategy, and decided to stay with UNIX as a server. In my case, it was mostly out of a distrust of Microsoft as a server. Perhaps that mistrust is misplaced (I expect nobody on this list will argue the point, though ;=). > If you will use any client that runs on something other than > Windows, then > you should probably strongly consider a Linux host. Now, just to be sure this doesn't come across as a religious-type argument, can you provide a reason for this recommendation? The only reason I can think of is a limitation on the protocols that CVSNT supports - but a quick glance at cvsnt.org seems to suggest that it supports at least pserver, ssh, and kerberos, and possibly other protocols. Oh, by the way - when I looked at cvsnt.org I noticed that there's a strong warning against downloading it if you live in a jurisdiction that regulates cryptographic imports. If you live in one of those jurisdictions, then I guess GNU CVS is the route to take. -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
