Now can you fix your email so it doesn’t inform everyone who posts to this

Can somebody point in the direction of the website to

Subject: [ntdev] Re: An alternative to visual source safe version 6Although it’s traditionally used more in UNIX development
projects, CVS is worth looking at. Lots of big open-source
projects use it, and it seems
to handle large projects well, because it’s just a bunch of
old-style rcs files with a more intelligent front-end, i.e.
no database that could wipe out the whole enchilada. Also,
the most recent version of each file is stored in full, and
all prior revs are stored as diffs. That makes it fast for
access to the working revs, while letting it scale efficiently.It has its drawbacks, of course - it has poor support for
binary objects, in that it has to keep entire copies of each
revision in the repository. Also, it doesn’t integrate with
windows source control well. It can also be tough to learn to use.On the positive side, it’s pretty self-sufficient once
developers are clued in as to how to use it. It most
certainly does not require a team of admins. Also, there are
GUI front-ends for those who don’t like using the command
line clients, and there are tons of add-ons, analysis
scripts, and other resources. Finally, it’s Free.Another alternative is SourceForge - started out as a website
(still is), but VA Software productized it last year and is
pushing it pretty hard. No experience with it, other than
that I’ve coded on sourceforge.net projects before.Rounding out the list is Bugzilla - the bug tracking system
for Mozilla.org. It has worked quite well for me in the
past. It is written in Perl and backs up to MySQL
(preferred) or Oracle. It’s cross-platform and entirely
web-based. Mozilla just put it’s 100,000th bug in Buzailla,
so it scales pretty well so far.I’ve used CVS + Bugzilla in combination on a number of
projects in the past, and it has always worked well for me.
Both support about any platform under the sun (important for
the cross-platform nature of my work), and they’re free and
easy to set up once you get the hang of it.More info:
