PHP Source Control

Post by n8418788 »

Hi all,

My project is getting out of control! We need a source control solutions that will allow multiple developers to work on a codebase situated on a linux (FTP) server on the internet!

We are using ZendStudio 3.5.1 Plus, which has basic CVS support built in. Running a cvs pserver still doesent work quite right for us, also zend seems to complain when you try to set the workingfolder as a directory on a remote FTP server.

What is the industry standard source control for this type of development? Has anybody had any experience with any other linux based source control solutions or CVS servers?

Cheers,
jl

What do you mean CVS doesn't work quite right?

I don't have much experience of source control, but it's something I'm starting to think about and that I'll need to implement soon, so I'm very interested in this.

I use Zend, so I had intended to setup CVS on a Linux box and test Zend's CVS functionality to get used to it - so I'd like to hear about anything that doesn't work quite right, or any info. you find out..

I'd also be interested to hear why you think CVS don't work quite right for you.

We have a (large) project being handled by CVS and has done for the past 5+ years, personally I don't have any real issues with it. It is running on a Linux server and developers using Linux, Win32 and Macs all seem fine with it.

The only issue I have is that when the clocks change all files show as commitable. Having said that our version of CVS is pretty old and this issue may be resolved by now?

Is it CVS that doesn't work too well, or is it that Zend only has basic CVS functionality? Never really looked at Zend's integrated CVS features so could be wrong.

Thanks for the replies and let me put your mind at rest. CVS Does work! :) I have also used CVS for application development projects and haven't got any issues with it.

I was referring to an issue we have been having running the CVS server in pserver mode.

Also the other issue is that zend seems to expect a local working folder for your source controlled module/project. I would like the working folder to be ftp.ourserver.com/public_html/ but this doesn’t seem to work in Zend.

Has anybody else managed to implement a solution for these particular requirements? i.e. Developing directly on the live server.
