Well, if everyone is throwing around ideas for their favorite RCS, then how about Bitkeeper? It is quite popular in Linux kernel development circles, and was designed with distributed development in mind. I've seen it used successfully for sub-projects in the Linux kernel (i.e. LK-SCTP) which was then merged into the main Linux kernel. This seems similar to how Perforce is used by FreeBSD developers. On their website, Bitkeeper has comparisons to other systems (RCS, CVS, Perforce, ClearCase): http://www.bitkeeper.com/Comparisons.html While it might not change anyone's mind, it is interesting to be aware of, especially since it is popular in Linux circles. Hey, if Perforce works fine, then why change it? :) -- Craig Rodrigues http://crodrigues.org rodrigc_at_crodrigues.orgReceived on Sun Nov 07 2004 - 02:41:20 UTC
