Dive into SCM

August 30th, 2004 · 1 Comment

Been working on the infrastructure for our blog-related project. Decisions have to be made. The immediate (and probably final) being what sorts of source code control management system to use. CVS has the major advantage that the WordPress developers use it themselves, but Subversion is just far more powerful and probably easier to use. I am inclined towards Subversion and have been testing my own setup. I hope I won’t regret it.

Mother is set to host the test environment. My TiBook is also set to host the development environment (so I don’t have to be connected to the Internet to do any development). I hope to be able to put together a prototype for testing within the next few weeks.

Update (4/9): This is a private commercial project. The repositary doesn’t need to be accessible from the Internet. So I am going to put it on terra my big-ish file server at home, and set it to backup to a private directory on mother.

    Not sure what it all means entirely, but perhaps Subversion might be more flexible…
