One year ago, I was editing all of my code with EditPlus, an FTP editor. From an editing perspective, the source code was a file in a folder on a Unix box, the same Unix box that was running UniVerse. Inside UniVerse, there was a file pointer (in VOC) to the source and object code.
One of the selling points of SubVersion (and others) is that a programmer could write code on a plane and then re-sync once the plane lands. As a lone ranger, checking code in and out has little meaning. Graphic 1: How does VOC knows what is the LIVE rev?. Is U2Logic's Version Control included with the XLr8 editor? --Bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Doug Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 9:48 PM To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] Version Control Hi Bill: The U2 world works inside the database. The rest of the world thinks source code control should be outside the database. Your use of VOC is very unique and probably applicable to a small set of the U2 community. Source code control, except for U2, is done from the local workstation and not on the server. When I was a Configuration Manager for a telecom software company, many moons ago, we did not store any changes inside either the Informix or Sybase databases. We stored all of source code revisions on several Unix boxes that the programmers had to check out and check in from their workstations. I have created a web page that shows how Eclipse maintains a local version. There is a graphic of what U2 project looks like as well as few more. You need to look at the last graphic. That is where version control shines and shows you what you checked in and why. The pretty pictures of Eclipse version control using the XLr8Editor plug-ins is feature here and you can click on any of images to enlarge them: http://www.u2logic.com/versioncontrol.html.
