Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Hokay.
Know what we need, as more people dive into the coding pool? CVS¹ or something like. It was bad enough managing versions when it was just me, but as the holdup with me rolling out Jon's changes attests, n is larger than one, and it's going to get messy.
Can anyone run a CVS server?
¹ No, not the pharmacy chain.
Can anyone run a CVS server?
I know how. I don't have a server that can host it.
Yeah, me too.
Does the host of buffistas.org allow ssh or telnet access? If so, you might be able to host CVS here.
There is ssh. But we don't have rights to install anything.
CVS is pretty standard on Unix boxes. Might be installed already.
They don't list it as a service, but I'll ask.
If it's not already installed, it can't hurt to ask if you're allowed to install it.
t edit Is it radically different from a CGI script? 'Cause you don't have to 'specially ask to install those.
I've asked. Waiting on answer.
And it's not CGI -- it's an executable. Comes in an RPM and everything. Needs to be installed as root.
No, not the pharmacy chain.
Nor my little sister. Because my parents named her with those intials, despite the fact that we live in a CVS-store region....
