as famous as I will ever be

I just took a trip around on CVSDude, and had a look at their testimonials page. We use them for source control, outsourcing it is so much easier than doing it at work or home your self, and they have excellent rates.

Anyhow - I noticed that my quote, made while at a small (but excellent) web shop in Sydney (www.red5.com.au) has been placed at the top of the page amongst the likes of the BBC and Stanford University.

Guys, once again - thanks a lot, you are really providing a wonderful service. If you want to try it out too check out CVSDude (!Affiliate Link!) for some awesome Subversion Source Control Hosting.

ColdFusion based SVN Web Browser

Recently we installed Subversion into my workplace, and then moved it to CVSDude.com. As this happened I went in search of a decent web based browser for SVN and also something that would help me integrate more closely with our in house built ticket system.

The only ColdFusion based SVN Browser I could find was from Rick Osborne, making use of his custom built differencing engine cfdiff. The code currently points to the cfdiff code repository over at Google code. It will use any repository as long as your CF box can get to it over http or https.

CVSDude 3 month run down

A while back we made the move to managed source control (in our case Subversion) hosting and having done some hunting around we found CVSDude. Despite slightly surferesque name the company seemed to have a shining reputation from blogs, mailing lists and on their own site.

Looks like a great deal right? Well yes it is, after 3 months of using their excellent service we couldn't be happier. The servers have only had one outage in Australian working hours, and support when required is very fast and very accurate. They offer a great web interface to set up users, ACL's and email notifications, if you already have SVN repositories and wish to migrate, they will import them for you too.

Moving to SVN Hosted Solutions

Recently I set up a SubVersion server for my company, and with all good things comes some pain.

Authentication, compatability of components, backup, training, hardware are some of the things you have to take in to account. Its not an easy thing to do, setting up I find takes a few days and maintenance is an ongoing job. Not to mention the fact that if something goes wrong your time gets sunk into research and fixing.

Source control: Managed vs DIY solution

Are you thinking about starting to use Source control such as SVN or CVS for your company or work?

Your first decision is SVN or CVS - let me help, SubVersion. Plenty of other people discuss why, so go find their articles.

But should you do it yourself? Or should you go find someone to help? Here are some thoughts:
