Looking for a better CVS

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Looking for a better CVS

Ok, so the CVS I use currently is home made (by me). Looking for something opensource (or free) that allows me to upload documents and does version control on them. Also, I need a bug tracking system (nothing fancy, just a this is the bug, this is the fix). Also, it has to be web accessable (as the people I work with currently upload their changes to the web), so no win-only stuff pls).

Any thoughts?

I tried owl intranet, which is 'ok' for basic stuff, but I want something that is more supported by a larger community. I have tried googling a few things, bug can't find demos (without having to install myself and waste the time). What do you guys use?

Subversion + Trac. Can't beat it. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure Subversion is "Linux-only", but there are companies who offer Subversion + Trac hosting for very moderate fees, if you don't have a spare server. If you do, I recommend getting SME-Server, it has contribs for both Subversion and Trac and is ridiculously easy to setup and configure.

Unfortunately I'm pretty sure Subversion is "Linux-only"
Nope, you can get the server running on Windows with some work. Just need to really go over the documentation out there.

.

Subversion is available for windows as well.. and there is something called ( I think ) tortoise shell or something... it hooks into file explorer giving you access to subversion so you can do everthing you need from there ( eg.. get, checkin, compare etc ).

Yup. I currently have a Windows SVN Server running. You just get the install from here:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91
Then you just install it and fiddle around with the settings, start up a service with your repositories, create accounts, etc.
Then you can use TortoiseSVN as a shell integration for SVN access, it works really well (unless you have a special themed version of Windows XP, as the graphical add-ons won't work), download it here:

SVN all the way, as someone said it can be run on windows with no problems at all. Personally I wouldn't use it without tortoise though, that makes it much much cleaner to use.

Personally I have it running on a hacked nslu2 instead (tiny little linux device which shares USB HD drives on a network, which I got for < £50).

But I have had it running nicely on windows for someone else.
