Question

Integration RoboHelp with SVN using PushOk plugin: good solution or alternative recommendations?

Hello,

we have been working with RoboHelp and SVN for several years now. We manually check in projects out of Robohelp. As only one author works with one project at a certain time, we don’t have any problems. But now we have only one RoboHelp project and 4-5 authors working with this project, so we have to change our working method.

I would like to integrate RoboHelp with SVN using PushOk plugin as described here:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp/articles/robohelp_subversion.html

But I’m worried because we will be dependent on a third party (PushOk Software). It seems they have not provided any updates for a while now.

What do you think? Would you recommend using PushOk plugin and SVN? Or would you recommend another method or another version control system?

I look forward to learning of your experiences.

Thank you

Melanie

I would like to add this:

Our developers are thinking about changing SVN to Git. I've read some articles about RoboHelp and Git. It does not seem to be a good solution to change to Git for Robohelp projects. Do you have experiences wih that?

Melanie,

Hello! We have a 3-5 author environment. We (doc staff) have been using RoboSource Control for some time now (approximately 10 years), but we're experiencing issues in a new project and our dev staff currently use TortoiseSVN (v1.8) so we're looking to make the TortoiseSVN/PushOK plugin switch. Unfortunately, thus far in testing, I haven't had much success getting it to work consistently or reliably. I also share your concern regarding the development/support of PushOK. I'm going to try implementing it again today, although this time using the v1.7 TortoiseSVN client (I previously installed the v1.8TSVN client). I'll try to keep you updated on my findings/experience. If you or any other users have any thoughts or input, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks,

Jason

Hello Jason,

I would really like to share your experiences! I implemented the integration some months ago with TortoiseSVN V1.7 for testing. I don't know nothing about the integration with V1.8 ...

Thanks,

Melanie
