subversion support

I have taken a look at RapidPHP and it seems quite nice indeed.

I would like to know if you're planning to add support for a system like subversion for code control.

This would be very handy.

thanks

At the present moment this is not planned. Also I have no idea what that is :( I would appreciate if you could explain this in detail. Thanks! :wink:

subversion http://subversion.tigris.org is a version control system for source code. it's open source and free. like cvs but a bit more robust.

essentially, for support, RPHP would need to be able to exec a command from inside RPHP using the current script.
so for example i could run svn -add filename.php -m "this is a message" somehow with a gui frontend that would allow me to enter a message and hit [ok]

make sense? :)

Understood. Seems reasonable.

However I can not promise this for near future, but it will be thought about in a long run.

There's also http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ . I was just searching for Visual Source Safe support here on the forum and found this old thread. I'm in the middle of a project at work where we're using VSS and I have to use MS Visual Studio since it integrates with VSS. I hate Visual Studio and miss my clean webuilder.

We also use Tortoise (which is what subversion is built on) on some projects. Please add another vote for support.

Another way to support version control systems (VCS) that you might consider is accessing the VCS through Microsoft's Common Source Code Control API (SCC) which abstracts the use of the VCS into a single API. Many (most) VCS systems support SCC, so if that's the API you used, many VCS systems would be supported.

I know that CVS and Subversion have SCC providers (although some are commercial).

The drawback to aupporting VCS in this way is that I'm not sure how robust the SCC API and providers are.

The plus is that in one stroke the product supports many VCS systems.

Karlis,

I too, would like to see SVN support built into WeBuilder, similar to how ZEND Studio does it...

See: HTTP://www.silverdarkroom.com/images/svn.bmp

sorry to bring this up in two threads but if it's possible this method would be my preference as we sometimes use SVN and sometimes VSS depending on the server technology the project will end up on.

I would like to add a vote of support for SVN. I use it (TortoiseSVN) on all of my projects and find it indispensable. RadRails has a nice implementation of it, and jEdit's project viewer plugin makes use of it for building projects. Just a couple of implementation ideas for you there. :)

Further to my last post, simply allowing the use of TortoiseSVN within the file browser would be good enough for me. You can currently access TSVN in the folder browser (but it doesn't show the little icon overlays), but not on actual files. Enabling TSVN in the file brower would open up all of TSVN's possibilities right there in WeBuilder, allowing easy diffing, commits, updates, etc. etc.

good point charles. Tortoise has great shell integration and being able to just see it/access it's menu via right click (the normal way it's accessed via Windows Explorer) would be ample 'support' for me.

I will think on making shell context menu available for files as well, that would allow to use TortoiseSVN.

Currently I have no idea how to get those special icons inside built-in shell browser...

I know from my end I really don't care about the icons as much as the functionality. ZEND only give you a menu with the commands for subversion. from my end I would just like the ability to right click on the file from the Projects list and then commit the changes to my repository

I agree. Icons are cool but they're not a 'show stopper' at all. committing a entire folder is fine.
