Simpler alternative to CVS?
Anyone know what I'm talking about.. I am looking for a simple alternative to CVS that I can use to have multiple developers work on a website simultaneously.
The target system is a UNIX FTP, and the workstations are windows boxes. I can optionally setup an SMB share for the target system, so that it can be mapped like a drive for the windows users. Users must have the simple ability to lock and unlock files (or check out/in), and the system must automatically run diffs between each checkin, and optionally store comments relating to the file changes, as well as be able to automatically degrade the code to any previous revision. Can anyone point me to non-commercial or commercial products that do this, with my preference being on the former? The key is, I have to get this system running tommorow, and I don't have time to fully understand CVS and find graphical clients, and train all the users on the intricacies of CVS. Any help muchly appreciated..

P.S., I don't need to have project branch capabilities.. that's way more advanced than what I'm trying to do.

Not sure if I completely understand what your looking for, but zope may work. I have never used or worked with it, but its open source and I know Red Hat and a few other large corporate web sites use it...
http://www.zope.org |

Well, I was going to go through that all again, but I can't get people trained on that by tommorow morning, and the windows clients suck more dick than .. well.. this if GFY, you can come up with your own similie.
Zope is actually an application server.. not quite what I'm looking for, but I appreciate your help none the less .. I know microsoft has one.. I used to use it.. SourceSafe I think? Is that commercial or free? I"ll check the microsoft site.. but something like Source Safe would be fine...

If you can administer the cvs server then your developers ought to be able to figure out wincvs ( http://www.wincvs.org/ )... it's pretty simple. I've had some pretty clueless html monkeys using it pretty quickly before.
If you have a dreamweaver license that would work without the cvs server. It comes with a site manager that allows a users to lock and unlock files and works over ftp and samba shares. cheers |

Thanks spanky. Do you know if dreamweaver is capable of keeping a diff depository, or some sort of revisioning? I'll buy it if it does. Got a refferal link.. haha.

dreamweaver is a lock in lock out type system.... i puts a file on the server to say the file is locked... thats it don't expect anything else from it
i used wincvs at the last production company i was at.... it works good.... |

Like bawdy said: just a lock file on the server that tells you who has the file 'checked out'. You can associate some 'design notes' with each file but no versioning so you won't be rolling back to yesterday if somebody screws everything up today.
