(Version Control) Any plans to support Subversion?

[lhankins]

Are there any plans to support Subversion for version control..?

Many projects who currently use CVS are looking to move to SVN (SVN was designed as a replacement for CVS and has many advantages over it).

Speaking from experience, our organization used CVS for years, and we migrated to SVN about 9 months ago (and have been very happy since).

I suspect that SVN support will be a big selling point for EA in the months ahead.

Hang on, we've only just got them to support CVS !!

Any time schedule for 6.0?

Hi Thomas,

EA 6.0 comes with VisualStudio 2005 (November 2005)

Any information on which VS2005 SKUs EA 6.0 will work with? I have to make a decision in the next day or so on which to purchase, and want to make sure that what I buy will run well with EA 6.0.

I strongly endorse this suggestion.

We (CSIRO) are involved in a number of collaborations within the geospatial community, using EA for model design.
These typically involve several organizations, sometimes in several countries. I'm trying to get all the projects to build on the same base model.
This requires that any tweaks made in the base are easily propagated into several different derived models.
We host the TWiki and code repository for these, and already use Subversion.
"Controlled packages" and subversion would seem to be the right solution.

Hi,

> within the geospatial community

May I ask what sort of projects?  We're doing work here in Canada here for Roads, and a separate one for Streams/Watersheds, and then finally a new one is shaping up for "Terrain Resource Information".

>  same base mode
We also tried to be compliant with ANSI or NCHRP (transportation) models at the logical level, and OpenGIS standards at the implementation (relational DB) level.

Are you planning to implement in a spatial database?  I found a real 'impedence mismatch' between modeling the Logical Class Model in UML (EA of course), and implementing the Persistence Model in a Relational database (Oracle Spatial).

P.S.  If this gets REALLY off-topic, feel free to respond to me directly ([email protected]).

Hi,

Support for Subversion has been introduced in EA version 6.0.  A beta release of EA 6.0 was made available to registered users last week.

Has anyone started using Subversion with EA?  I have not had any bug reports so far, but I've only seen one tentative report of anyone using it...

FYI:  There is also a whitepaper available on our website, covering setting up version control in EA.
Look under "Resources | Whitepapers".
