Dear List,
We are looking to bring in some further version control system, over
our manual (but working) system of version control.
What is the current status of version control under RB 2006 for
collaborative projects?
Only a third party supplied project (from Thomas Templemann) exists for
doing this
We want to slowly scale up to an integrated, professional Version
Control and source tracking system, without having to use to use CLI,
if possible.
Not possible at present
We missed REAL's Project Manger which seemed to disappear, did this
work?
For sharing code yes. Not for version control
Is it coming back?
I'd expect sit or some API to hook in SVN, CVS, etc some day
How comprehensive was it?
As I understand it, there are issues with RB and XML version tracking,
in that the XML files alter and do not predictably stay in order for
file comparison? Is this true and current for 2006?
I believe (but cannot verify) that the order of the XML is now firmly
fixed so diffing XML should work a bit better.
But, the XML also stores window positions and other stuff so a DIFF
will turn up a lot of differences on that basis alone
We are just trying to plan (and save a lot of mistakes) if possible,
hopefully implementing a control system we will continue to use into
the future. Perhaps some new incarnation of REAL Project Manager is
just around the corner? Was is disbanded as it was felt that CVS
and/or Subversion offered so much more?
I believe that REAL is going to provide some way to hook in third party
version control systems.
PS Is there a CVS Server for OSX? Again I couldn't find Server
binaries for X?
It's already installed
If you just go into terminal and type cvs you'll see it is there
