Thank you all, Chris Bob, Andrew, Ben. Bob, the Server I am taking about here is our development, not production server so it will be fine.
Chris, Andrew, and Ben thank you for given me 3 solutions to explore. I think I am going to give Subversion try, only thing I am not too keen about is the command line interface. Our developers here would prefer a GUI client, any good ones you can suggest?

If you want to do this type of thing I'd recommend looking at svnwcsub and the svn pubsub setup. It has the advantage of allowing this without requiring the repository server have access to the machines you are updating. Since the server simply provides a mechanism for the client machines to subscribe and watch for updates. This was introduced along with 1.8.0. Many ASF websites including Subversion's are stored in SVN and automatically updated using this technique. There is a very basic install instructions here: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/subversion/branches/1.8.x/tools/server-side/svnpubsub/README.txt Note that this same directory is tools/server-side/svnpubsub in the tarball. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail is subject to the Columbus Stainless [Pty] Ltd Email Legal Notices available at: http://www.columbus.co.za/EmailLegalNotice.htm. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
