v isual studio integration under win2k
Hi all,
Can somebody point in the direction of the website to download a stable
version of CVS and a front end that integrates with visual studio 6
running under win 2k

Subject: [ntdev] Re: An alternative to visual source safe version 6
Although 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.

Hi all,
what would People recommend instead of visual source safe ? Currently
we use source safe to hold labeled builds of our code which developers
then add there changes to before putting it back into source
safe
with a new label.We currently have problem that in the last year the database has
become corrupted at least 4 times. Is there a max size of dB that vs.
will support ?thanks
