Subversion.

A Windows client:

You can install yourself on your own server, or hosted.  I use these guys:
http://avlux.net/subversion/host.php

You will not be able to do a compare for binary files beyond "Is this an 
exact match or not?".  That's it.  Since Word, Excel, FLA, ect. are binary, 
there is no such thing.

However, ASCII files (text ones), like TXT, AS, MXML, HTML, CSS and the rest 
WILL do comparisons.  You can track changes all types of files, and see who 
checked what in.  Newer versions of Subversion also have the ability to lock 
a file so you cannot check something in (Visual Source Safe had this by 
default, but many people didn't like it).

Subject: [Flashcoders] SourceSafe??? Recommendations needed.


Hi:

We are slowing building our eLearning group in our company.  We are
finding that we really need a system like SourceSafe.

The question is, does anyone know if SourceSafe (or some other system
handles):

FLA, SWF files
BMP, GIF, PNG, JPG files
WAV files
DOC files
PDF files
FM files (Framemaker) files
PSD files
Corel files
We are looking for one system running on a server that would be able to
house all of these file types (maybe more) and provide versioning, check
in / check out, etc.

Also, it would be nice if the system could do comparisons. (Although
this may be asking for too much).  For example, it could compare 2 docs
and tell what the differences are.  However, this is a "nicety", NOT a
requirement.

I appreciate any advice.


Sincerely,

Loren Elks
