Mark,
Thanks for the response. Yea, I have been considering
something like that (SourceForge or Savannah); however, it
appears to me that while these sites are wonderful for
distributed development, the originator of the code loses
control (hence, the ability to maintain the direction) of the
project. Ed
I don't think you are going to get too far using cvs for offline
access to a repository. If you are running an open source
project why
don't you just move it to a hosting site like sourceforge.net?
Sourceforge provides an Internet-accessible cvs repository
for all of
your developers free of charge. It also provides free bug tracking
and mailing lists and makes your project more widely
accessible. All
you have to do is submit a request to them and in a day or
so you will
have a powerful resource for your project.
-Mark

Subject: cvs without a server
Hi,
I posted a question the other day and didn't get a response. I'm
hoping that the lack of response was not due to the lack of
an answer,
so I'll rephrase the question...
I manage/maintain a small open source project. Internally
I was using
SourceSafe and I distributed the project to folks as a tarball
consisting of the latest version of all the source files.
This made
it difficult for users to keep track of changes. To improve this
process, I recently moved over to CVS for my internal
change-control.
Unfortunately I can't provide access to the repository using a CVS
server; but I'm still hoping that there is a way for CVS to allow
users of the project to keep track of changes between their current
tree and a newer tree.
I know I can simply provide a tarball of the entire repository, but
then how does a user figure out what changes have been made
since the
last time they downloaded the repository?
Is there any common/recommended way to do this?
Thanks
Ed
