Re: Does the version management work under windows?

[Niko Schwarz]

I think this argument is a little categorical.
There are many frameworks that would do the version management. But choosing
one for the user and recommending it by making it the default is making life
for users easier.

And well, the binary I downloaded was platform dependent, it was a .exe
file.

But the net benefit would be that enabling version management would be as
easy as clicking into the file menu as opposed to making your way through
the already impressive documentation.

Just my 2 cents.

cheers,

Niko

 its not sensible to add platform dependent things when there is an

the point is that the way _lyx_ access svn is platform independent. it simply
calls svn something for all platform and it will work. the fact that this
happens on linux by svn binary or on windows by svn.exe binary is 
irrelevant.

the point is that the way _lyx_ access svn is platform independent. it simply
calls "svn something" for all platform and it will work. the fact that this
happens on linux by "svn" binary or on windows by "svn.exe" binary is 
irrelevant.

Pavel,

I'm attaching a LyX file (of course) with some notes on using Subversion 
with Windows.  I've supplied details for using a combination of the 
CollabNet command-line client (which LyX needs) and TortoiseSVN (which I 
find much easier to use for things outside LyX).  It is possible to get 
by with just the command client, but I did not supply all the details 
(left to the reader as an exercise).  My inclination is to say that if 
the user cannot figure out the command line operations on their own 
fairly quickly, they would be well advised to use TortoiseSVN.


Let me know if this works for you.  I leave it in your hands to 
integrate it into the help document.  Feel free to make any editorial 
changes you wish.  I also hereby transfer copyright of it to the LyX 
developers.


Cheers,
Paul

 Subversion (both server and client) is available for Win XP and higher.

As is CVSNT, which includes RCS emulation that ought to work with LyX
(though I haven't tried it). There's also at least one port of GNU RCS
to Windows, though I'm suspicious of it - back when I last used it, I
had what appeared to be file-corruption issues. (It's hard to say,
because they weren't reproducible, and it's possible they were caused
by something else.)

Plus the various Unixy-Windows options, such as Cygwin.

For that matter, it's not hard to port RCS to Windows. I ported it to
MS-DOS, Windows 3.0, and various versions of OS/2, back in the day. (I
also built a distributed version with an OS/400 client. Ah, memories.)

But in any case it's easy to get the command-line binaries for all of
those version-control systems for Windows. All my Windows machines
have both CVSNT and Subversion installed. (I don't bother with
Tortoise or other GUI clients; I like to work from the command line
for most things. LyX is one of the few exceptions.)

whether there is a possibility to run those creatures under
cygwin/windows i haven't slightest clue.



Subversion (both server and client) is available for Win XP and higher. 
 On the client side, Tortoise SVN integrates into the context menu in 
Windows Explorer.

No, Tortoise does not have a separate command line client, but the 
CollabNet Windows binary package does.  (I run it on Win Server 2003; 
should run on XP and up just fine.)

Does the version management work under windows?

[Niko Schwarz]

ok, i think i figured this out. i needed to install more miktex packages. it
runs now.
but the version management does not work at all. i see it complain that some
ci tool is returning an error. there is no ci tool installed at all, so im
not surprised.

it does not appear in the cygwin tree, so im uncertain if i can do a thing
about it.

what do i do?

 and now im trying to work with it on my windows box. but the latex compiler
 says: prettyref.sty noot found.
 why does it say that? what can i do about it?

 cheers,
