Source code management for IAR

Started by Darren Logan January 9, 2007
Hi,

Can someone recommend a source code management tool for IAR integration?

Preferably free, and able to cope with up to 5 users across a LAN.

Beginning Microcontrollers with the MSP430

I like subversion. It's not designed for IAR integration, but you'll
able to manage your code files (and any other files as well) very easily.

Hi Darren,
I have been using CVS. (actually TortoiseCVS to be more exact). It works
well, but does tend to invade your system in a pervasive way (you will see
CVS-related menu items when you right-click a folder). The alternative is
WinCVS which runs as a client application, so you launch this app and then
check in/out files. You can check this site www.wincvs.org for more data.
If I recall, this is open-source and free...

Darren,

I use CVS as well - it's easy and fast - and is designed good for what it does - concurrent version
control over a network or the internet.

Here are some helpful URL's in addition to William's response:

A nice GUI:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cvsgui

Free server is available here for NT/2000/XP, etc.:

http://march-hare.com/cvspro/

Note this even runs on my laptop with no problem. There is also a tool that will integrate with IAR - I used it
but it will actually delete files when you try to check them in if memory serves me - so that of course
wasn't acceptable and it wasn't free either. I don't know of any free tools that will integrate with IAR at this
time - but I haven't really looked lately since CVS works pretty well for me. I use subversion too - but not for
my own stuff.

As William mentioned - Tortoise has some nice free tools that integrate with Windows Explorer.

HTH,
John W.

Subversion with tortoisesvn, its a lot better for us than CVS which is
somewhat showing its age.

There is a nice native (without dependency to the libcygwin) commandline cvs
tool included in the MSYS shell dev tools from the MinGW project:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id$35
get the MSYS minimal shell and install (to X:\MinGw e.g.):
"MSYS-1.0.11-2004.04.30-1.exe"
and install:
"msysDTK-1.0.0.exe" from the "MSYS Developer Tool Kit"
from here:
