... Do you have a recommendation? What about sourceforge.net? ... CVS, as far as I know. I have a different but related question: Who is going to provide...
... BitKeeper is the most powerful. Subversion is the conservative choice since it's similar to CVS. ... SourceForge provides CVS hosting. ... Dave likes...
This is a request for comments... Paolo Valdemarin contacted me off-list with an offer for space on an OS X server to run a version control system. Since...
I would go for CVS as it is most familiar to most developers. But I think the key thing at this point is to make a decision and move on. So I would support...
I think Subversion is a good choice. Close to CVS for migration ease, and it has some betterments. For Windows folks: there's a version of the Tortoise shell...
... Sorry I should said something sooner (publically or privately) - I have requested a new SourceForge project - I expect to hear if it has been approved,...
... From what I have read, the switch should be very easy for anyone with CVS experience. Most commands seem to be the same or to differ only slightly. When I...
... I'm in agreement Re: Paolo's server. And Yahoo Groups seems fine for discussion. IF SF offers particular useful capabilities, we can use just those...
... The search functions for SF discussion groups used to be quite weak. And the discussion groups aren't fed to Google. Makes it hard to easily find stuff in...

Terry, You are a mine of useful information. The odb_extractor suite looks to be particularly useful to someone like me who is resurrecting old Frontier...

... Yes, I think just checking Frontier.root into a CVS or Subversion repository as a binary file is not a workable solution. However, converting database...
... Well, I'm very close to wanting to check in fUnit, so yeah, we'll have code before we can test anything like that. Making lemonade out of lemons, the...
... I'd highly recommend we write an importer/exporter to dump the scripts and objects from the database into a text format. This is easier for the versioning...
For anyone that is interested, I started a catagory in my blog (<http://www.pdfsages.com/blog/archives/cat_frontier.html>) about my thoughts, feeling, etc. on...
