Hi, I'm new to this list, so I start by apologizing if my question is stupid. I did a non-robust search through the archive looking for an answer, and came up blank, so here goes...
I have a source tree for some embedded stuff that I provide to folks who ask for it. I had been using SourceSafe to keep track of changes and I simply provided folks with a tar-ball. They had no record of the change history except to run a diff between their current tree and a new one that I distribute. Not good.
I've transitioned over to CVS for tracking changes, so I'm hoping that I can now allow folks to track changes between the version of the source they currently have and a new version that I distribute. The problem that I have is that I will not have a CVS server for folks to interface to. So, is there a common and/or recommended way to distribute code that is under CVS without using the cvs server? For example, I know I can just tar up the repository and send that off to folks; however, does this support their ability to be able to compare their code to the newly distributed repository?
I'm hoping that users can apply the following steps:
1. Retrieve the tarball repository that I distribute. 2. Check out the latest version of the code under that repository. 3. At some later date they can retrieve a new repository that I distribute and replace their current repository with this new one. 4. Run "cvs diff" on their checked out tree (sandbox) vs the new repository to see what's changed.
Does this make sense? Thanks for any help! Ed
