 Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 6:45 pm Post subject: Anyone managed a Sourceforge project? |
 |
|
I just got a sourceforge project approved and now I am the admin of it, but I don't really know how to upload files to the web site it will host. I just want to set up a redirect page to the official site. The site it is hosting is here http://tutorialms.sourceforge.net/ and I have an index.php written which will redirect it to http://www.tutorialms.com.
How do you upload files to the web site directory? (I already found out how to upload files for releases)

Well a lot of people use a shell to do that.
This pretty much explains it: https://sourceforge.net/docs/E07#shell

I think it's pretty logical, they offer what you need to make most projects work. It's a lot less confusing than getting GTK to compile with Visual C++

What exactly is CVS? From what I have read it is something to do with managing source code, but is it for managing releases or managing edits?
Would it be effective to use with a PHP project?

Well, You're better of with SVN I think. But it's quite useful as a version management system. You might want to use it, but on windows it might be somewhat hard at first.

CVS is a versioning system (Concurrent Versions System). It manages different revisions (edits) of your software, which is convenient because you can easily try things without destroying older revisions.
I haven't managed a SourceForge project myself yet, but I don't think every revision will be provided as the 'latest version.' People are, however, able to checkout the latest revision using CVS (the CVS repository is always open for read-access, if I'm correct).
SVN (Subversion) is also a versioning system. It is more flexible than CVS, but for basic usage both are actually very similar. They are both equally difficult for a novice to learn.

Yes its effective (but I prefer SVN over CVS). Its for both managing releases and edits. What happens is your developers "check out" the source tree which creates them a local version of the project. You then make all your changes locally, and when you are finished you "commit" the files to the central repository.
When you make a release, you can create whats known as a "Branch" which is basically a separate source tree of all the files for the specified release.

Install Tortoise SVN on windows and its dead easy.
I'd highly recommend using SVN, even if you don't intend for other developers to contribute. |
