Don't know about Linux vs NT but it took me about 2 days to move a team of 3 developers off Continuus and onto CVS. A lot of it will depend on how familiar you are with source control in general and what state your existing processes are in: you may find you need to start changing your development processes once you start getting things under source control.
However, at its simplest you just: 1. Create repository 2. Import source code 3. cvs checkout 4. cvs update 5. cvs commit Repeat 4 to 5 until time to go home. -----Original Message----- From: vincent_choplin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 January 2002 10:08 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: cost of CVS... I everyone. I work in a small but still growing company and we're beginning to need something like CVS... the problem is that nobody here has ever used CVS (nor any of its pairs) and one person only (me) is familiar with VSS, on user side only. I would really appreciate you giving me an approximation of the time it would take to install (and get rid of every problem) and get to know CVS, knowing that we're 5-6 developpers working under windows NT4 to 2000. Is it worth hiring a temp. or consultant to install and teach us? would we have to stop working while we put CVS up or can one of us do it while the others go on with the developpement? Is it really better to use linux on the server or are the winNT versions good enough? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have received this e-mail in error or wish to read our e-mail disclaimer statement and monitoring policy, please refer to http://www.drkw.com/disc/email/ or contact the sender. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
