Description
Krzysztof Daniel
Krzyszto, what do you suggest? You want to update FAQ or readme? It appears that http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/CVS_FAQ and http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/platform-vcm-home/docs/online/html-cvs/cvs-compatibility.html?view=co mentions different supported versions. In the FAQ 1.11.1p1 is always supported, in the document on dev.eclipse.org is supported only till Eclipse 3.0. Maybe we could think about some kind of version check in Eclipse, that'd display at least a warning when a user tries to setup connection with CVS server that is not supported? A chapter dedicated to CVS compatibility placed in the help also seems to a good idea. I can provide necessary patches as soon as I'll know which version is officially supported. (In reply to comment #2) > Maybe we could think about some kind of version check in Eclipse, that'd > display at least a warning when a user tries to setup connection with CVS > server that is not supported? Check Preferences > Team > CVS > "Validate server version compatibility on first connection". I think this is what you are talking about. > A chapter dedicated to CVS compatibility placed in the help also seems to a > good idea. There is a link to CVS FAQ in the help. I think that FAQ should be rather updated. I have modified the minimal required version to 1.11.2 (was 1.11.1p). This bug can be closed. Wiki has been updated. Closing as fixed. |
