There's no requirement to be root to use Subversion.
Yep, DVCS are all that very well, feel free to write plugin for eric (-;E
I dug svn-plugin source, and it's not that hard, but quite an amount of
work. Maybe some day I'll try to write hg-plugin
Hi,
It was interesting to read this thread as it concerns VCS (Version
Control
System), including the requirement to be "root". I used to use
"subversion"
which is the only VCS currently integrated with Eric and remember that
requirement.
Recently I have switched to another open source versioning system,
because of
its versatility and ease of use - Bazaar. It happens to be DVCS
(Distributed
Version Control System). It is handy for both - "home" use with the
entire
history kept on the local PC and for "external" repository applications.
In
home use it does NOT require setting up of a repository, as the working
files
and the record of versions can be kept in one and the same directory.
"Bazaar", a tool for VCS, written mainly in Python and Qt, does not
require to
switch to "root" for operation. It is strictly cross-platform and is
tested
with all main operating systems - MS Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS.
External repository hosting is offered by "Launchpad". A sample
"homepage" on
Launchpad can be seen in https://launchpad.net/bzr-explorer.
An excellent cross-platform GUI, bzr-Explorer, written in Qt (the same
GUI
backbone as Eric), is available. I do feel that it would be an
advantage to
Eric to offer versioning Python programs with Bazaar.
Various views of bzr-Explorer on several OS platforms, namely MS Windows,
GNU/Linux Gnome or KDE, Mac Os X, can be inspected in
http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/explorer/en/visual-tour-windows.html
A well balanced review of the Bazaar versioning system is described in
http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/migration/en/why-switch-to-bazaar.html
I look forward to the addition of Bazaar to the already excellent Python
programming IDE, Eric.
OldAl.
