CVS is more efficient at storage (IIRC, even with binary files, it only stores new copies if the file has changed. And much of the code is text)tar can also store only files that changed after a given time. And is disk space really an issue???
Thanks for pointing that out about tar. Disk space, of course, is not an issue these days. But the fact is, on our system, that cvs is a managed service that has already been setup on our system, and is being admininistered, backed up , etc.
If I use cvs, I gain all of these advantages. If not, I get to do them myself. (no joy!) That is the real issue.
Thanks for your inputs below.By mistake, I didn't have the list address in the last mail to you. I am cc:ing the list on my reply.
Kind regards, Sonam
(Personally I would rather use a good source control system andsome othertool for deployment, but I guess that's not an option here).Hmm, do you have some recommendations for some good tools? SonamI have experience with only three tools: 1. VSS (Visual SourceSafe) - very simple to setup and use, limited functionality, but better than nothing. Works only in Win32 environments. Integrated into visual studio. Very cheap. 2. CVS - open source, multiplatform, easy to setup, not too complicated to use, free. 3. ClearCase - extremely powerful, but complicated, and very expensive. There are many other tools, both free and commercial, but I don't know a lot about them. Good luck, Yuval.Yuval. _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list address@hidden http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs-- Electronic Commerce Corporate Express Australia Ltd.
