Hello,
I have used Review Board at my previous employer with great success and it
was really awesome. On that team, we used RB in the typical fashion with
git. The RB server was on linux and the clients were all (mostly) linux.
In my new role, I am experimenting with RB with a TFS/TFVC repository and
am running into a lot of issues. I setup an Ubuntu server and installed
the powerpack extension. For now, it is just me experimenting so the 2
user limit is not an issue. My client machine uses windows.
This leads me to a few questions:
- Does RB/powerpack support TFS 2015 or 2017? (some of the documents I
read were a little stale and out of sync with release notes)
- Does the powerpack extension work correctly with TFS while RB server
is hosted on linux?
- Is there any intention of ever making TFS part of the free/open source
version?
- I believe there would be more users and more contribution to make
TFS stable.
- It would probably lead to more users thus more potential purchasers
of the other powerpack features :)
- It is hard to 'sell' the idea to management when it isn't stable
and/or requires much effort to configure. More contribution will fix
this.
If it was purely open source and free, it would be much easier to
justify
spending time.
ReviewBoard is an awesome tool and I think there is a huge world of TFS
users out there who would enjoy it as well if it was easier to use for this
specific case.
Thanks,
Geoff
