As for the version control system: the younger and far more capable systeer of CVS is Subversion (SVN). Like CVS, Subversion sticks with the same model of a central server that holds everything, and from which you check out a local working copy that has the parts you want to look at right now. Subversion is at this point mature and well-integrated into third-party tools. A whole different approach is "distributed version contorl systems". In those systems every local copy contains the whole repository. I assume that your workflow is relatively simple: minimal branching (if at all). An occasional tag. If so, "distributed" version control systems might actually simplify things: no need to define a separate version control server. The whole history is here. If you're actually working with someone else and merging changes, then what I wrote above may not really apply, and refer to the general flames on this subject. BTW: if you work with svn: apt-get install trac. While debatable as a bug tracker, it has a really nice SVN browser. An alternative SVN browser is git/git-svn, once you get to know it ;-) -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
