Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Monotone "must have" list: msg#00088

Subject: Monotone "must have" list
I have two multi-person projects that I would really like to switch from CVS to monotone. Those are in addition to my little personal projects.

If I could switch today, I would. But there are some things missing from monotone right now that are preventing that. Putting my Product Manager hat on, I want to know: "why can't you switch to monotone TODAY".

Obviously, each project will have a slightly different list. Merging the needs of my various projects, my list would be something like this, in order from most critical to merely desirable:

- ability to set default key in MT/options [1]
- find a non-emacs 3-way merge tool
*** At this point, I can use it for my own projects ***
- Cygwin version (native would be even better)
- OS X version
- find MT directory from subdirectories (I can code this)
- simplified tutorial (I'm willing to write this)
- paper describing why sha1 is ok
*** probably ready to use on my free software project ***
- checkout by tag
- spaces in filenames
*** probably ready to use at work ***
- eclipse plugin (very highly desirable for work)
- single file diff workspace against head
- native Windows version
- simple gui
- single file diff revision to revision
*** by this point, monotone ROCKS! ***

That's my list. Nothing on there looks too difficult. I've probably forgotten a few, and there are probably a few that I don't even yet realize are problems. I'm curious how this compares to other peoples' lists.

Can I be CVS-free by early next year?

Kevin

[1] I have already made this change on my system, so as soon as I can post to a depot, it will be available to the world.
