Easy get started howto
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
I have a friend who is a part-time VB developer (full-time zoo keeper) who
is unfamiliar with any version control software. I recommended he use
subversion and not worry about the complex details until he needs them. I
don't think he'll take my advice without a very simple how-to on getting
started using a local repository for simple, small projects. I would like
to point him to such a how-to. I'm sure he would find it indispensable,
but without a step by step how-to I don't think he'll give it a chance.
Is there such a how-to online somewhere? In particular is there a windows
centric how-to? I use Linux and I'm not sure how the command lines
translate when using subversion so I'm not confident my help is what he
needs.
Thanks.

Bill, I didn't realize your book was under an open license. If you
want to come up with a patch for trunk/www/links.html in the
Subversion tree, indicating this in whatever way you feel is most
appropriate and linking to the Right Place, that'd be fine...

You can actually download the entire book referenced above as a PDF.
It was released under an open content license, just like the O'Reilly
book. There's a link to the PDF from my website:

As far as Windows-centric, the concepts are all the same and the
command line client is identical. Only difference is file path syntax
and your scripting options. Being a VB developer, he'll probably be
most comfortable using the SVN COM bindings/objects for writing his
own code to interact w/ SVN.

Huh? Most linux distros have pre-built packages that install in about
30 seconds. There was no porting, no running of things in a specific
order.

VSS does not require SQL Server. VSS is also positively ancient and
riddled with problems, the largest being the inevitable database
corruption. The 15 minutes it takes to set up Subversion is a
miniscule price to pay for the peace of mind it provides over VSS.

Take a look at the Subversion quick start in the .pdf manual. Subversion is
easy to set up on a Linux server. Heck! If I did it anyone can :) But it's
a lot of work, in the sense that it's time consuming, downloading the files,
porting them over in my case from windows to the linux server, making sure
to run them in a specific order, setting admin files etc.
You can download the windows version and set it up locally but that may
defeat the purpose of a repository unless it's on a server which gets backed
up nightly? If you want something easier look into VSS/Source Safe but you
still have to install a SQL server.
