Meeko:
On Hobbes I could not find either Mercurial (the one I prefer) or Subversion. What options are available for Warp 4?

Dave Yeo:
Mercurial, subversion, cvs and git are all available. Start at http://os2ports.smedley.info/ for mercurial (Python 2.7) and subversion.

Martin Iturbide:
...and if you are looking for something to code you can always get "OS/2 source code inspiration" on github: https://github.com/os2world
 ;D  ...or here it is a more friendly list of open source software for OS/2.

Dariusz Piatkowski:
So a follow-up to Erich's original post: what are the current OS/2 developers (any/all) using for their projects?

I guess I'm really talking about local projects...the Firefox/AOO/etc, which are group projects are one thing, but for a local (single) apsiring developer like myself, what are the recommendations as far as setting up native OS/2 development platform, and specifically the version control piece of this?

Case in point, it probably has been about 4 yrs since I had my development up and running, mostly doing some intro OS/2 coding. My "toolset" was composed of:
1) VAC++ 4
2) IBM C/C++ 3.6.5
3) OS/2 Dev Tookit (OS/2 Warp Toolkit)
4) Visual SlickEdit (editor)
5) Borland C++
6) Open Watcom C/C++
7) VisPro/REXX 3.1
8) CVS / jCVS

Given all of the above, and my intent to do some native OS/2 development (not porting) on a local machine, what do you guys suggest as the most applicable version control application?

I'm guessing maybe continue on with my CVS? Or is it better to go to github and share the work as early on as possible to help out, and be helped by others?

Martin Iturbide:
Hi Dariusz

I will recommend you to try an open souce development project on github. Github gives a very easy and good service for free to host your code and make it easy to have a wiki and for people to report issues.

About CVS vs Git. I had tried a little bit CVS some years ago and I found git more easy to use, simple and very straight forward to make clones and commit. If you have no problem learning the git.exe command lines it will be very simple to use. Here it goes a very simple introduction to it: http://www.edm2.com/index.php/Using_Git_under_eComStation
