    CVS Repository

    Is it possible to set up a CVS repository on our Dathorn accounts? I've never set up a remote repository before and was wondering if someone in the community had experience with this and Dathorn servers. Looks tricky to me. If it's not possible does anyone else have a solution for setting up a remote repository somewhere (e.g. paying for a cvs server somewhere)?

    thanks

          Everyone may be in the same position I'm in ... I've used the CVS repositories, but have no idea how they really work (software they use, etc.) The main concern I would have is the amount of traffic it could create, and the feeling that the traffic would probably be too much for a shared server.

          But if you're setting up a CVS for a small group of developers to collaborate on a software package, one of Dathorn's plans might work. But as to how you set that up, I'm afraid I have no idea (and judging from the lack of response from this normally chatty community, neither do many others!)

              I definitely have no idea but in my browsing throughout the interenet researching servers and linux it seems some sites (try sourceforge) have tutorials on how to set it up.

              You may just have to google it, I regret i didn't see this thread and the articles at the same time.

                  Really need to be ask Dathorn. CVS has two strikes against it:
                  1. Flat file system are not shared server friendly.
                  2. Needs it's own server which just not allowed.

                      Thanks everyone for your replies. My goal in having a remote repository is so that I can work on sites both at home and work with some version control. Work is firewalled so a simple ftp exchange doesn't work (well, my boss won't give me ssh access). I don't want to use my Dathorn server as the middle man for ftp, but I suppose I could if it comes down to it. I'll keep looking into this and post back if I find a solution. Thanks again,

                          No, it is not allowed.
