Re: Best Windows Client??

Don't know about best, but we are using TortoiseCVS at our shop and it is
working well for us. It nicely integrates into Windows Explorer on our 2K
desktops.

Subject: Best Windows Client??



 I have CVS setup on a Linux server. I have several Windows clients that
 are using WinCVS...
 I have done some searching and nothing else really comes up for
Windows

 Is that the best client to use?

 Specifically what I am looking for would be a client that would let a
 user pick individual files from the repository and then be able to check
 out those files...?

 Is there anything like that available for CVS?

To view all the hideous detail of a repository without checking it all out, try either:

CVSWeb: http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/cvsweb/

or 

ViewCVS: http://viewcvs.sourceforge.net/

 Tried Tortoise but did not like the idea that the whole file 
 system would be exposed to CVS for all the users of CVS at 
 our company. Wanted a more project-oriented approach. 

There are two strategies that we use to filter the repository for our users:

1) Define modules in the 'modules' file so that they can easily check out portions of 
the tree that pertain to them

2) Use LockDir and directory permissions to limit who can check in changes to certain, 
protected portions of the tree.

There is also the optional 'readers' and 'writers' admin files that can define who can 
read or write to the repository.

If that isn't enough and more separation is required, then consider splitting up the 
repository into separate repositories.

The eclipse IDE lets users select individual files. You really have to
stay on top of updates, though, because it implements the CVS protocol
internally in order to accomplish this, and minor updates have been known to
break it.

My favorite win32 client (and the only one I actively support for our
users) is TortoiseCVS. http://tortoisecvs.sourceforge.net/

It's based on cvsnt and integrates nicely with the shell. It handles all
the normal developer tasks quite nicely. For administrative tasks, you
may still want the command line tools.

Regards,

Geoff

We are using LinCVS, which runs perfectly on Windows, Linux (and also
MacOSX, though I have not tried that).
