Chris,
The CVSGUI project
(WInCVS etc) has various GUI's for
CVS on different platforms. The CVSGUI newsgroup is
here:
Additionally WinCVS is a front end to either CVS server or CVSNT
server. Most users migrating from vss
use CVSNT server (which is free/GPL just
like CVS and runs on Linux/Unix/Mac/Windows), the newsgroup for which is
here:
CVS/CVSNT server are very different from VSS, so you may want to
consider something like the commercial support offered by the CVSNT developers
that includes VSS - like gui and a eBook to get you started (the next release
also includes a VS.NET plugin).
Finally you will probably want to migrate your VSS database to CVSNT,
which is what this does:
Do not
reply to me on this newsgroup - use the correct newsgroup listed
above.

Hello everyone,
I have been tasked with the
task of migrating our VSS repositories into CVS, and I am looking for any
advice. I consider myself a CVS newbie as I have never ran a cvs server,
and have very little experience with it. However, I do know that it is
used for a lot of the OSS projects and is very highly thought of.
Here
is what we have:
Both Linux and Windows boxes that could run CVS (I prefer
Linux myself).
Our main local fileserver with trusted backups runs Windows
2003 (however, they really don't want any extra processes running on the box -
i.e. the actual cvs process).
All of our users are windows based users and
would want to use a gui client to access the repositories.
Our VSS admin
would like to also use a gui to administer the repositories.
Can you
give me any advice on what is the preferred way to go about this?
Has
anyone done such a migration.
Are there any cross platform gui's?
(I'd prefer to run cvs on Linux, but let the admin administer via windows, is
this possible?)
Is there a preferred/recommended windows client for
CVS?
Thanks for any helps and
tips.
Chris
