Re: [Boa Constr] file server access from Boa

[Blaine L. <bl...@te...>]

In my opinion, I would use cvs in the case you are describing.  I do use
samba to provide the office's network, so for my situation, it was more
work to learn and install cvs.  It was well worth it.

Cvs will coordinate among multiple developers, and take care of the
CR/LF issues when/if you start development/deployment on Linux.  Even if
you develop alone, cvs will keep a history of all cvs commits (saves)
and will synchronize all source code if you develop on multiple
machines.

Cvs usage is somewhat automated in Boa, I am still stuck in Boa v0.0.5,
if you are here too, be careful to close all files after doing a cvs
update, as it appears Boa doesn't refresh the open files in that case.

FYI, if you already have your samba network drives mapped to local drive
letters, you should easily be able to access the file system.  In Boa's
explorer click Filesystem, then in the right window right click and
'New'.
