Do you mean a complete SCM (perforce, source safe, cvs, subversion, arch, etc) system or a something more simple? I would recommend Subversion. Quite easy to setup and free for any use. It went 1.0 today as well. Look at http://subversion.tigris.org/ if it's something for you. You could install a hook that updates remote copies whenever a change is made. -----Original Message----- From: Enno Rehling [mailto:en...@de...] Sent: den 23 februari 2004 16:22 To: gam...@li... Subject: [GD-General] file synchronization software Some time last year, someone on this list suggested a piece of software. It was used to keep assets in sync over several machines, like rsync but with a few extra features (like keeping up to n backup copies). I cannot remember the name. It was a command line tool, it was free, and there was a linux client and server that I tried out back then. Can anyone help me remember?

We are using a source management system (CVS, because we want to give SVN some time to mature), but our artists don't work this way. CVS is really only the gateway between them and the rest of the production team, meaning when they've got something they want to pass off to the rest of us, they check it in. Most of the time, they work on stuff more losely, and the large filesizes and frequent update cycles would blow up CVS (and a lot of other systems) real quick. They also don't want it - what they want is to be able to have another guy review some of their stuff, or share a texture quick and painless, so stuff floats around a lot. And that's where I want to get unison into play, if it does what I expect it to do. Enno. -- Almost nothing in Perl serves a single purpose. (Larry Wall in <199...@wa...>) |

It's just gone to version 1.0 - I accept there's going to be a surge of people trying it out now, and a couple of them may find a few more faults. I'm in a position where I can wait for them. We've got a lot of experience with CVS, and while we like what we hear about SVN, we're not under any pressure to get rid of CVS. It comes down to the old "if it works, don't fix it". There's a zillion other things that need fixing first. Enno. -- "As a PC gamer, you need to respect yourself.

It seems there are still a couple issues with big repositories. May have been worked out in 1.0 though. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/15374 > > We've got a lot of experience with CVS, and while we like what we hear about > SVN, we're not under any pressure to get rid of CVS.

The svn team is using one of the BSD trees to test with. (Don't remember if it was NetBSD, FreeBSD, or OpenBSD) The subversion team does use svn themselves. I use it at home. I like it a whole lot more than cvs. -- Parveen |
