SVN - Subversion Instructions (was CVS)

Just wanted to introduce myself to the gang here. I am the Victor in 'victorland.com'

I am brand spanking new to the ModX stuff (thanks to Ryan for turning me onto it), but I can definitely help out with any of the heavy lifting server stuff -- like CVS and such.

I saw a few posts back about the CR/LF being wrong on the text files. Should I fix that on the server side or is someone else working on it?

Please fix on the server if you could. It will make Windows developers life easy, though I'm trying to switch to a Slackware dev environment ;-)

Cheers...

The easiest way to do it would be to checkout the repository, identify the text files, fix them and check them in as text files. Then identify any binariey files, tag them as binary files, and check those in. When I get back in town on Wednesday, I'll take care of this. What this means is that anyone who updates their CVS after the change will wind up pulling down the entire tree from scratch since every file will be tagged as having been changed.

Thanks for the info and for helping out Victor!

FWIW, I'm getting the extra line in all the files as well. Really trashes the installation .sql files... (OS X)

And as far as the CVS instructions, I really don't know. I had the SSH Agent running in the background the last time I tried it and it worked...maybe that has to be running when you run MacCVSClient? It sets the environment variables when it's running? Or maybe it was that "known host" thing...I don't know enough about it to be able to say what did or didn't solve my problem. That's one thing I have against GUI apps; if I'd done it all on the command line I'd know what was going on.

Ok, I got the latest from CVS, and deliberately didn't run the SSH Agent, and it worked, so it must have been that setting of "known host" that did the trick. Great! New toys!

I just tried the built-in CVS it has, and it works (well, when I am using the machine that has my SSH key, anyway...), not only that, but it automatically asks if you want to create the KnownHost entry. It's cross-platform, and has plugins to do just about anything you could imagine, including playing games.

Well after all that I think we're going to go with SVN for repository control thanks to the fine folks at CVSdude.org. The fact of the matter is that my dang favorite Source Control Client has a bad habbit of corrupting images, which in my tests with SVN and the Mac GUI client svnX, I did not experience.

We'll also get a Bugzilla install and a Trac install out of the deal as well. Great folks over there... you should check 'em out!

Does this mean I can/should shut down the CVS on my server?

Victor, that should be OK, and thanks for the helping out ... stupid MacCVS ...
