Versioning, SVN, CVS, Delphi, TortoiseSVN, JVCS... What's everyone using? |

David | I have got to get a versioning system in place.
Currently I use D7 and I don't want to spend a ton of money on a versioning system. What are you using and does it do everything you need? |

"Raul" | Used CVS and Subversion and have been happy with both. Also used SourceSafe and do not recommend it to anybody. With CVS or Subversion we never bothered with delphi IDE integration and used a windows shell add-on to do the check-out/commit/etc right from windows explorer. If you're have nothing at the moment then i'd suggest looking at : - Subverison : http://subversion.tigris.org/ - and TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/) Raul "David" <dpuett@mac.com> wrote in message news:C5EE7DE9.3485E%dpuett@mac.com... >I have got to get a versioning system in place. > > Currently I use D7 and I don't want to spend a ton of money on a > versioning > system. > > What are you using and does it do everything you need? > |

A lot of people in many forums and with many different languages use CVS or Subversion and like it. I have had to use it a few times and perhaps it's my inexperience with it that colors my view, but I really don't like it--even with the Tortoise shell integration. I prefer a separate application to manage a version repository, and I like all the files stored in a database. I actually use JediVCS with Firebird as the back-end. I can backup and copy off-site the entire database in an automated script, I can run SQL queries against it, and it is very fast and solid. I trust over 10 years of source code with it. Open source, built with Delphi, works with a variety of database back ends. http://jedivcs.sourceforge.net/ (It also has a Delphi IDE integration piece which I don't use.) -- David Cornelius CorneliusConcepts.com |

It is a "separate application" and has "all the files stored in a database" - infact you have the option of DBISAM as the daatabase.

Sean | We use CVSDude to host SVN and use Tortoise to interact with the
repository. I could never go back to the pre-version control days. I also make complete CD backups of projects from my working PC from time to time and at critical releases for extra safety, but trust the host to maintain my repository backups.

Really? I guess I'm *really* showing my inexperience with it. I thought it had it's own file structure, or storage engine of some sort. Storing it in DBISAM is a total surprise to me! By "separate application" I meant at the client end. I don't like it integrated into the Windows shell. The interface is confusing IMHO. -- David Cornelius CorneliusConcepts.com |

David | Oh man, I was hoping for a fight.
Thanks for all of the replies. I'm leaning towards Jedivcs but I like all of the options people are mentioning.

FreeVCS, yes, I have used that. It was the precursor to JediVCS, nearly identical in look and feel and functionality. In fact, that's what I started with. Glad we're on the same page. -- David Cornelius CorneliusConcepts.com |

I uesd VSS for a long time and did not have much trouble with it. But than about a year ago, I wrote my own app, using DBISAM. It prety much does all I want and the nice thing is if I want a feature ... it gets implemented next week-end (though I can't remember last time I needed a new feature) Lucian |
