Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Revision control for DocBook SGML/XML documents
We've been running a CVS repository with access in local mode on Windows NT for a couple of years with no problems (that could be related to Windows NT). We are though, for reasons other than stability, now switching to running the repository on a Linux box with access in pserver mode. I'd suggest that you - at the very least grab the most recent version from http://www.cvshome.org/dev/codewindow.html - consider the NT port at http://www.cvsnt.com (site seems to be down at the moment) - study the instructions at http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/cvs_admin_nt.htm - consider using the cygwin port of cvs, http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin - consider setting up a Linux or *BSD box for the repository, it isn't that complicated - track the 'Better CVS' project at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bcvs/ - track the 'subversion' project at http://subversion.tigris.org/ and while you are at it, why not also have a look at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hoenicka_markus/ntsgml.html kind regards Peter Ring Forlaget MAGNUS A/S -----Original Message----- From: M.

This lets you run CVS if you have only Windows machines. However, due to issues (a) with local CVS on Windows, and (b) with the suitability of Windows as a server operating system in general, we would generally recommend this more to try out CVS and get a feel for it rather than for production use and this tracks with my attempts to use it. I've tried twice, and both times failed to get the CVS system to be stable. Given that, I'm a little skeptical of CVS in the NT environment. RCS, OTH, seems to work fine.
