Re: Version control

Vern,

There are several version of CVS. The best site for CVS info I have
found is: http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/

Given a choice, you should run CVS on Linux. CVSNT is pretty good,
but it has had some bugs that appear/disappear on occasion that
make it not work with CVS. With CVSNT, if you decide to use aliased
names for your CVS modules the 1.11.1 version worked where
the 1.11.3 version is broken again.

Also, when you start with CVS in WDSc you will find the names that
IBM uses do not match what you will read. A check in is a commit,
a refresh is an update, a stream is a branch.... Eclipse 2.0 fixes
this but WDSc is based on Eclipse 1.0.

Is there a take-me-by-the-hand doc somewhere for cvs, so
I can get it going quickly to use with RSE? I have a
Win2K box I can use as server, and does it handle native
source code effectively?

Thanks

Vern
