Page mentions Subversion, anyone still using that vcs these days?
- albertopv 4y agooh yes...
- s_dev 4y agoWordPress plugin deployment depends upon on Subversion
- dailykoder 4y agoA LOT of companies still do. Every bigger company i've been to here in germany has used it somewhere. Some tried to slowly move to git, most didn't, because svn just works and old people don't want to change
- guitarbill 4y agoI would not be surprised if there were source control management workflows involving faxing things somewhere here in Germany... sigh. But hey, at least those workflows are probably ISO 9001 certified! /s
- m000 4y agoSubversion is still my favourite VCS for collaborating on non-source data. I.e. cases where you typically exchange documents over email/dropbox and use extension-based versioning (e.g. report.v22.final.docx). Subversion keeps all data in one repository nice and tidy. Works well with binary files. Allows easy subtree checkouts. Plus, explicit commits make it easier to track progress without having to dig in your mailbox.
- arinlen 4y ago> Subversion is still my favourite VCS for collaborating on non-source data. Makes sense, as SVN is basically a centralized versioned file system.
- mikro2nd 4y agoHell, I had one client still using CVS a few years ago, and they couldn't see any reason why I was suggesting they might want to change. Granted their business was manufacturing electronics for passenger aircraft, so any change in their tooling might trigger an expensive, multi-year recertification across their product line, so maybe they were right...
- SoftTalker 4y agoThe OpenBSD project still uses CVS.
- BeetleB 4y agoI'm sure plenty teams at engineering companies do. These people mostly are not SW developers by training (i.e. they write SW incidentally), and SVN is an order of magnitude easier to use than git.
- mixmastamyk 4y agoI agree and yet git has pushed itself almost everywhere.
