[Gllug] CVS

[Allen Wayne]

I have been using CVS in a limited fashion for several years now...not just
for C/C++ on Linux but also my development work on Windozzzzeeee machines.
There is a reasonable W32 GUI (wincvs) and a web front end (cvsweb)...if I
can ever get it to work properly!

Subject: [Gllug] CVS vs RCS


Hi all,

I'm begining a new project in C and I've decided it's time
to manage my files in a more 'professional' way. After I
spoke to a few people at work, the choices seem to be either
using CVS or RCS to take care of my code backups.

I understand that RCS is meant to be used by a single user;
CVS when the project is a collaboration between various individuals.

What I haven't been able to figure out yet is if any of the two
software packages assumes that the computer that runs the server
is always on.

I want to have a server on my home PC running Linux (maybe duplicating
the server at work, running Solaris). The box at home is not always
switched on, like the machine at work. Can anyone tell me if this is
going to be a problem please?

All suggestions/comments are welcomed.

Thanks

TM
