Hi,

I have RoboHelp 15. I want to use CVS as a source control. Can RH be integrated with CVS?

Regards,

Prashant

You can always add the files in CVS and manually check in and out before opening the RoboHelp project. But that is probably not what you are looking for. To allow RoboHelp to work with CVS natively, you will have to install an MSSCCI plugin for CVS. Once that is set up, you can add the source control through RoboHelp.

A list of plugins is available here: http://www.davidtan.org/subversion-svn-integration-plugins-for-visual-studio/

Hi ,

Should I install MSSCCI plugin on the machine where I have installed RoboHelp/TCS?

Thank you very much for your continuous support.

Hi,

I have tried "http://www.davidtan.org/subversion-svn-integration-plugins-for-visual-studio/" link. But, I did not get the desired plugin related to CVS. It will be great if you can guide me in this regard.

If we decide to go without Plugin, is it OK to go with following approach:

  1. Check-in all the files into CVS
  2. Open the RoboHelp project and edit the desired files
  3. Check-in the edited files.

More Information: We are using TortoiseCVS Client to check-in and check-out files.
