Hi guys,

There is no excuse not maintaining the source in SCM that's accessible to everyone, especially since we have our very own CVS repo at cvs.php.net which all PEAR developers can get access to if they like.

I don't understand the SCM/CVS system and don't feel like figuring it out. I'm lazy, I realize! :-) Not really, just busy ;-).

There is nothing difficult with using a GUI application, I really think that Word is more complex then the CVS clients out there.

There are a couple of really good books availble about CVS and Subversion availble for free. http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/ http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ I know you're busy, but I think you can get started with about a chapter and a half. For CVS: Basic Concepts: http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#Basic%20Concepts A Day with CVS: http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#A%20Day%20With%20CVS For SVN: Basic Concepts: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch02.html Guided Tour (particularly the "basic work cycle"): http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch03.html As for GUIs, I highly recommend TortiseCVS and TortiseSVN for Windows people. http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ I hear RapidSVN is good and cross-platform, but I haven't tried it myself. http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/ There's MacCVSClient and SvnX for OS X http://www.heilancoo.net/MacCVSClient/ http://www.lachoseinteractive.net:81/en/community/subversion/svnx/features/ Most IDEs have integrated support for both by now, I think. I know Apple XCode does and there are plugins for Code Warrior. Hope that helps, -Nikolas 'Atrus' Coukouma
