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...
... 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...
... 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...
I have posted an RFC about Unit Testing to http://kernel.scripting.com/discuss/msgReader$42 . I emphasize here the "comments" I am soliciting are comments...
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...
... I don't know. You could set up a complete Frontier installation on a server and make the roots accessible via WebEdit. Then install the root updates server...
... First, Subversion is supposed to handle binaries more gracefully: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook-1.0/apas08.html although I think you'd have to shut...
I've been thinking of some projects that are now possible (but perhaps not simple) now that we have the Frontier source code. I'd like to package up the code...
<newbie> David, couldn't you crib some ideas from looking at the way AppleScript is handled by the kernel? My thinking: since you can write, edit and debug...
Good observation. That's exactly where I'm going to look for the additions. One of the reasons I did that brain dump is to inspire others to do the same, and...
... 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...
... Not that this is exactly what you are looking for, but : <http://sourceforge.net/projects/frontier-oop/> I believe Ruby, Perl, and TCL all have scriptable...
No, I don't mean the Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger feature called "Spotlight". For you old-timer Mac developers out there, there is this wonderful memory debugging tool...
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...
... Another starting point is Eric S.'s Patch Tool http://www.wiredfool.com/patchTool/about "This is a developer tool that provides patch, diff, and cvs...
... I obtained workspace files for MS VC++ 6.0 from Jake Savin at UserLand. When we used VC++ during my time at UserLand to build the Windows version, all the...
... 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...
