Cvs Hosting? Possible

[c]

This probably has the same problems as shell access but I thought I would ask anyway since I am in need and I see the Photo hosting offered.

Would HosPC consider running CVS or virtualCVS ? as an add on or included option to accounts?

Hey C, you prolly know about this, but my issues with versioning and such I wound up finding a solution for at http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=fvc_ftpvc and using FTP VC. It doesn't require anything server side and does a decent job of versioning. It has it's little bugs, but the dude generally responds to bug requests pretty quickly...

Just a thought.

Hmm, that looks good. But what I am really out to do is to have a CVS or Subversion repository and create modules for ezPublish and Drupal to have them act as frontends.

ftpVC is a nice program but I don't get how it versions.

I dunno, I can't give you the technicals of how it works or anything, but Iuse it on two different projects, one that is a collaboration between me and one other guy and one that is just me, I just want versions kept, and I have had to roll back at time and such things and it works quite well.

One word of advice...NEVER, I mean NEVER upload a file that hasn't gone through FTP VC or you are setting yourself up for a nightmare...

That was the part I could not figure out. I read the instructions but cannot get any versions or history to rollback on. Is this disabled in the evaluation version?

Another thing I don't understand is the high pricing of CVS hosting. From what I can see CVS is not as nearly complicated or expensive as running MS Visual Source Safe.

As I recall it's not disabled in the eval version, actually, I know it's not, as my and my coding partner used the eval version for twice as long as normal while reporting bugs and crap...thats weird. I had some trouble getting it set up initially, but honestly, I don't recall what happened or what I did that made it work, if I remember I will post.

I'd just like to add in my two cents, I've used CVS and the excellent ViewCVS front end (http://viewcvs.sf.net), It would make a nice extras add on once SSH gets sorted out. ViewCVS is a snap to setup but does require cgi-bin access.
