even if you are a single developer a cvs is handful in a number of ways. e.g. :
- you can always come back to the code for a specific date
- you can mark different versions with release tag and come back to
("download") any of them
- you can make branches of code (ok, I never use these)
- you have all the development process in one place and can backup it easily
all the benefits come from the fact that cvs stores incramental differences of any change in the code you make. sometimes it is useful to come back to the code a few days ago. if you use cvs it is not a problem. if not - you have to make "backups" every few days or so.
and it is really not that difficult to use. there are some frontends but the commandline is also nice.
Thanks for the motivation. It's on my todo list. ;)
if you use c/c++ you could give a try to www.eclipse.org with www.eclipse.org/cdt plugin. it nicely integrates with a cvs system, debugger etc. it is a complete (and outstanding) development platform.
free. ;-)
Free, but GPL incompatible :(
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Public_License
: This additional requirement renders the CPL incompatible with the GPL : (in the opinion of Eben Moglen), though it is possible that a future : version of the GPL will adopt a similar, compatible clause.
But probably the other reason for incompatibility is that it doesn't sufficiently discourage non-free code:
: while still retaining the ability to use the CPL'd content with : software licensed under other licenses, including many commercial : licenses.
And then just to confuse things, the eclipse web site says that it's using version 0.5 of the CPL: http://www.eclipse.org/legal/cpl-v05.html (i haven't checked the source).
Personally, i'd put this on a "waiting to hear other opinions in the free software community" list... But thanks for the suggestion anyway.
Meanwhile, i'll add anjuta, which is also an IDE, to my todo list: http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=anjuta&se...
