Well, I'm impressed. The installation of the CVSNT[^] server went without a hitch. And the instructions were great! Marc Microsoft MVP, Visual C# MyXaml MyXaml Blog

I have been using it for a few years and for the most part I have not had problems. There was one time where they changed the default security that caused a minor headache... John

I also started using CVSNT very recently and it has helped me a lot with my personal projects. I normally use it to keep track of different versions of my code and to sync both my computers. My desktop computer has the server and a client (TortoiseCVS) installed. And on my laptop I only have TortoiseCVS. This way I always have the most updated source code on both my computers without having to copy files and without any problems.

I do this similar with wincvs installed on all my computers with the CVSNT server on my laptop. This way I can take it home and synch with my desktop at home.. John

I've been looking for a while for a (preferably free) source control system I can live with, and I finally settled on Subversion. I tried CVS but I was never quite happy with some of its quirks. I'm used to a system called CCM that I use at work (now called Telelogic CM Synergy, unless they've renamed it again) which seems to be the opposite in every way to CVS, so I've had to adapt to a different way of thinking. Subversion claims to be a 'better CVS' - I never actually got very far with CVS, but it certainly seemed to address many of the issues I had with CVS. (And there's TortoiseSVN which is to Subversion what TortoiseCVS is to CVS).

Are you using subversion as a client sever or both? How do you like it? I have been thinking of upgrading our cvs server at work to subversion. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

But since you're starting a new installation, you should consider using (svn) SubVersion, which is highly compatible with CVS, but with a more robust and efficient backend. I never tried CVSNT, though. A few years ago, when I started using CVS, CVSNT was a newborn and the Linux version was very, very stable. Running it on Linux has other advantages, like being able to easily use tools like cvs2cl.pl, cvsweb.cgi, without any hacks or patches. Perl combines all the worst aspects of C and Lisp: a billion different sublanguages in one monolithic executable. It combines the power of C with the readability of PostScript. -- Jamie Zawinski

Is the client WinCVS compatible? I couldn't tell--the Tigris site only mentions TortoiseSvn as a windows client. Marc Microsoft MVP, Visual C# MyXaml MyXaml Blog

No. Unfortunately, svn is 'command-compatible' with cvs, which means that the same commands will have the same effect, with some added functionality (e.g., renames). But the underlying protocol is HTTP (WebDAV), and the backend is based on a relational database, so the clients are not 'binary-compatible'. Since the interfaces are so similar some time ago I thought about doing a CVS proxy that could communicate with svn, this way, you could still use CVS tools with a SVN repository.

Both client and server - got the Apache module version of the server on my Linux fileserver machine, and use TortoiseSVN and the command line svn command for the workarea on my Windows machine. Haven't done anything particularly complicated with it yet; just one user (me), and just one project so far (the program in my signature). But so far I like it; it's pretty unobtrusive and hasn't done anything unexpected, and I feel a lot better having the code under proper backed-up source control at last. Have a look at: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook/book.html There's also a chapter at the end specifically for CVS users explaining the differences.

I decided to follow you rtip and today I've tried Subversion with TortoiseSVN. I'm quite happy with them so far. It seems easier to use than CVS, also easier to install and configure. I've ported my repositories from CVS to Subversion and so far nothing wrong to say about it. CVSNT is still installed on my desktop but if Subversion satisfies me I will obviously use it instead of CVS. Thanks for the tip! :-D
