RCS is included - look around in the docs.  It doesn't support multiple
users very well, but CVS does (and uses RCS to do the actual
checkin/checkout stuff), and I believe you can find the source code to CVS,
so it shouldn't be too hard to port...

CVS is available in the GeekGadgets distribution from ftp.ninemoons.comIt is a
good port, and even supports remote CVS.

Chip

You can look at http://www.cs.utah.edu/csinfo/texinfo/cvs/cvs_toc.html
for more on CVS. CVS uses RCS under the hood to manage the versions.
CVS adds the ability to better handle larger teams and even
development at multiple sites. It's not the best system in
the world, but it is free.

Good luck,
-Eric

Someone hasn't kept up with CVS.  It has its own protocol/port/service
these days.  I believe the current version can still use rsh to talk with
older versions (although obviously not with BeOS).  I don't know if it's
possible to set up a CVS server on BeOS or not, but it's certainly
possible to use the client.  We've been doing so at Gobe for around 9
months or so.  We maintain the CVS repository on a linux box.

That's what we're thinking about doing. Thanks.

Chip, Eric, thanks for your help. One more question:

Have you guys set up remote repositories in CVS over a network? I tried
yesterday with little success, and someone here said that since there was no
rsh for UNIX on be, it was not going to work.

If I can return the favor, let me know. Usually I'm good for C++ questions.

Chip, Eric, thanks for your help. One more question:

Same here.  The Geek Gadgets CVS repository is located on
cvs.ninemoons.com, which is a linux machine.  I do cvs operations
all the time from both x86 BeOS and PPC BeOS.

Be Newsletter Volume II, Issue 5 (http://www.be.com/aboutbe/benewsletter/volume_II/Issue5.html)
in the article "Engineering Insights: Using the BeIDE with RCS" mentions
CVS as well as "P4" by Perforce. Perforce is at http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html.

It's been a while since I set anything up, but...

Set it up to run on a port (i.e. pserver mode).  cvs will then open a socket
to the server to do the transactions, eliminating the need for rsh.  You must
set some environment variables (IIRC).  In pserver mode, you can even specify
your own passwd file, to limit the users with access to the repository.  I have not,
however ran cvs in pserver mode on beos, only hte client end.

Search for CVS and pserver.  This is how I found how to do it the first time I
tried, and I believe there's a lot of good information out there to find.

Hope this helps,
Chip
