Anyone using a CVS system ?

[deathemperor]

I'm trying to install one on my localhost but it seems too hard, anyone has experiences on installing and/or using it ?

I'm in need of a CVS system badly to manage my source code.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah same here, can someone please post a tutorial on what to do? It seems very confusing to me also.

You want to setup a CVS on your localhost that can be reached from outside, or just for personal use?

Hi Marco,

I would just be using mine for my own personal use within my network, so it wuoldn't be public.

Thanks,
Derek

I did this the other week, I use CVSNT as the server component, and TortoiseCVS as the client.

Helps you keep multiple versions of a project synchronized, and version/change tracking, etc. I really have no use for one, though my organizational skills could use something like that.

Ok, Thanks for your help Paul, I will take a look at those.

I used to use CVS for this a few years ago but understand that Subversion is the one to use now. I haven't gotten around to getting that installed yet though. It sure makes a difference. Even just fiddling around with a development board still, it's no fun being without something to track all the config changes automatically.

If someone here knows something about installing it, I'd sure appreciate whatever assistance they could provide. (And please feel free to contact me for terms/details.) I haven't wanted to make the attempt without guidance or supervision from someone who knows more about this than I do.

Thats up for debate.. Im personally not a fan of SVN due to the global revision system it uses.

Ie. No longer revisions for particular files, any change to a file in that repository updates the revision for all files, harder to keep track of individual changes.

Other then that its better I would say..
