[I'm using Google Translate] I find the sad reality that VFP developers do not know or do not use source control. At least most people I know do not use it in their daily lives as if is "technology out of reach" or can not be used with FoxPro or would be very difficult or even unnecessary or tedious.
This thread is to ask who of you use source control tools with FoxPro code, what tools you use, or if you know what tools are available, and share information about it. I think the responses, or lack thereof, you can get a better idea about this lack crawling on FoxPro. It will be something interesting at least. To begin with, I tell a little of my experience with this topic: Like many of you, I use FoxPro from the beginning, I made contact with source control in the late 90's with SourceSafe 6 (VFP 6, included in VS 6), and until last year (2013) it was used in all team developments I've participated, including personal mine. Since late last year at my workplace have made a technological renovation in which have unified all source control tools in use (svn, cvs, vss, etc) for various languages (Java, web development, Oracle <http://www.oracle.com>, Cobol, etc) into a more modern source control tool (PlasticSCM) for which I have developed an Open Source (FoxBin2Prg) component to use with Visual FoxPro 9, that can be used indepently. Since April this year (2014) we can use source control in FoxPro 9 in the same manner as used in other languages like Java or other for many years, but recently it is now possible because the development team (10 members about) can work even on the same components (forms, classes, etc) and mix changes visually, without having to edit them using the FoxPro IDE to copy/past methods manually. I am interested to hear your experiences. Regards, Fernando D. Bozzo PD: I may ask this in other forums to have a broader idea. --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/CAGQ_Ju=jto0uxazkqruanl5zytbef2okduvcxluvg+aqphy...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
