After downloading WinCVS (and CVSNT) I started it up, but quickly decided something else was much more urgent ;-)
Can't say I find WinCVS particularly hard to use, though as has been pointed out, TortoiseCVS is rather nice. And I can cope with the command line, so maybe I'm just odd...
It would be very helpful if someone could produce a "CVS/Boost for Dummies" guide to configuring/using so that one can get the latest (and hopefully greatest) for a **single project** without too much brain hurt.
Well, that might be interesting - the obvious thing to do is something like cvs -d <whatever> -z3 co boost/boost/regex But then, of course, you need boost/boost/regex.h and friends, and also boost/libs/regex. Then you need to scan all the files you've just got and make sure the all the #include's from boost/boost that are used are pulled down... Oh, and you'll probably need the Boost.Build stuff, too, just in case the jam files in the project use new/fixed stuff.
(I don't want the full Boost update - I think?).
I'm not so sure... :-) And subversion isn't going to help, either; not without quite a lot of "meta" information being stored for each project (or something that will recursively do the pull based on what is needed). Just my thoughts... phil -- change name before "@" to "phil" for email
