Solaris CVS

Since I've started using CVS for web development, I suggested to our library server administrator that he might want to create a repository of their code as they begin their customization. One of the main reasons would be able to add comments about the changes they make (and the ability to revert back to previous versions). I'm not that (read that at all) familiar with Solaris and thought that CVS came in the standard installation package like the Linux distributions I'm familiar with. However, you need to get the package from the CD Media Kit. We didn't have time to see if this actually worked connecting to the cvsnt repository on a Windows box. Hopefully we'll be able to test and deploy this next week!

CFEclipse and CVS

I would rather use SVN on my projects, but unfortunatley, my Windows 2003 server doesn't really like running svnserv as a service. Instead of spending a lot more time troubleshooting the problem, I went back to cvsnt. Like SVN, cvsnt fixes some of the problems that plague CVS, just not quite as powerful as SVN. I set up Eclipse to check out my project...a very cool thing. It took a little bit (who likes reading documentation?), but I've got the development environment set up to post changes to the website I'm working on via CVS. The only major thing left to do is right the ANT script to run my dbUnit and cfcUnit tests in pre-deployment. All-in-all, I have to give the Eclipse major props for this integration!
