Hi, I've setup a CVSup server (cvsupd) for our company's on each side of the Atlantic Ocean, i.e. in the USofA and Europe. So far the cvsupd and cvsup work fine, however, we also would like to be able to access the CVS repositories from Windows (NT/2000). I went to http://www.polstra.com/ and learned that there is no CVSup for Windows. http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/faq.html#mswin 47.Has CVSup been ported to Windows 95 or NT? No, CVSup does not currently work on Windows platforms. It relies on a number of features which are specific to POSIX-like operating systems. Do I understand correctly that there is no server and no client for Win32? I also went to http://www.loria.fr/cgi-bin/molli/wilma.cgi/rel and saw that there is something as a WinCVS as http://www.wincvs.org/ Since I didn't read it all completely yet I guess I am more confused that I need to be. ;-) However, could I run cvsupd and cvs on the same repository? Have Unix (FreeBSD users of course!) access it using CVSup and Windows <cough> users use something like WinCVS that accesses the same repository via a different server? Well, I guess I am making things terrible difficult here, but if anyone has an idea or some "GO HERE" or "DO NOT GO THERE" experience I certainly would like to hear. Thanks for being a great community! Don't worry, be Kneppie!
