CVS help?

[Mort]

Hey all

Looking to start using CVS at work, problem being the setup we have here.

We have a mac as a server running MAMP and other bits, is there a way to use the macs pre-installed CVS server, but using clients from windows / linux machines? Also needs to be a multi user setup

Only played with CVS breifly before, wondered if anyone had a similar setup?

Cheers

Use SVN.

Leopard has it pre installed, installing it on Tiger is easy enough.

CVS is very outdated these days and SVN's cross platform support is great.

As above go with SVN or if you need distributed version control git. CVS is really showing its age now.

cool right I think I have svn installed on osx, using an app called MAS

only thing is it only seems to work with one of the user accounts i created, plus the server GUI doesnt really show anything thats going on, or reflect any of the projects i make etc from the front end.

anyone know of any half decent mac server gui?

ugh, i am about through with this

i dont know if its because i am trying to do this on a mac server, or if its just because i am not too familiar with version control in the first place and jumping in at the deep end setting up servers etc is too much

but i can either get subversion working, or i can get the webserver etc working, i dont seem to be able to do both and its doing my head in
