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.

Thanks a lot. Appreciate your help.

A quick question. If I do not check-in the xpj, cpd, and ldb files, will it still be OK for peers who are working on the same project? I mean, if I do not check-in these files, peers will not get updates that may be happening in these files.

Regards,

Prashant


oops, slip of the fingers.

xpj should definitely be checked in to source control.

The files to exclude from source control are .cpd, .ldb, .pss.

There are no problems with peers not getting updates to these files - in fact, getting the updates causes big problems. As I said, if you used Robohelp and Robo Source Control, those files will not be added in to version control at all.
