New to Tortoise SVN Source Safe Repository.
I have ASP.Net web application which i like to set a Server Source Safe environment and couple of client environments ( office and my home ).
Do i need to install seperately for Sever and Client Source Safe?
I think there is a bit of confusion on how the subversion ecosystem is organised today.
When people talk about Subversion they usually mean the server and client parts which you can find at http://subversion.apache.org/ . This is where the source code of the project is available. They provide links to binary builds .
TortoiseSvn on the other hand is a Windows only client tool which permits you to perform Subversion commands from windows explorer. You can find this tool at http://tortoisesvn.net/
To set up a Subversion server on windows there are a number of options available. The easiest option and most performing, but not always the most accessible is by using the svnserve service which is provided in the binaries of http://subversion.apache.org/ .
The "standard" alternative is using a combination of the apache webserver and the mod_dav_svn module. This permits access to the subversion repositories over http (and https)
Both solutions are sometimes hard to set up and a number of free and paying solutions exist to easier serve your subversion repositories on windows. Some examples, but definitely not an exhaustive list:
I think you got several things mixed up:
- Visual Source Safe (or VSS) was a version control system by Microsoft (deprecated, and utterly broken IMO)
- Subversion (or SVN) is a widely used version control system (having a client-server architecture, but you can run both on the same machine)
- TortoiseSVN is a Windows client for SVN (having nice features like Integration into Windows explorer with icon overlays)
So if you want to start using SVN, you have to set up a server (should be pretty straightforward, since there's lots of good documentation available) and decide on a client (TortoiseSVN highly recommended if you are using Windows).
