Which version of VSS are you talking about? The latest one is part of
Team Edition of Visual Studio. In any case, since I'm the MS lover of
the group I figured I'd say it... don't bother w/VSS unless you're
forced to by your company. Subversion is a much better solution, for
both MS and non-MS stuff.
Then Mark Keller responded (also on RPG400-L):
We're going to have an open discussion
about this next week, so I'm preparing. Can you use one Subversion
repository for all development or would you recommend having 2, one for
iseries and one for non iseries stuff? I see we can get Subversion on
the iSeries.
I have a little bit of experience with Subversion, but only from playing
around at home and some use for accessing source from open-source
projects. That said, you certainly can have one repository for all of
your documents if you like. I say documents, because Subversion can track
changes to any stream file, so you can keep versions of your source code
as well as your documentation (especially useful if you use a plaintext
markup language like XML, HTML, Docbook, etc.).
If you are interested in Subversion, I'd strongly suggest taking a look at
"Version Control with Subversion", which is freely available from
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/index.html. In particular, the
chapter 5 is relevant to your questions about repository setup (
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.reposadmin.planning.html#svn.reposadmin.projects.chooselayout).
Hope this helps,
Adam
